The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts Organizations and
Their Audiences in St. Joseph, Mo  
[ RETURN to "About Us" ] 

During 2001 and 2002 data was collected for a major national study by the Americans for the Arts in St, Joseph Mo, by the Allied Arts Council. The findings provide compelling new evidence that the nonprofit arts are an $8.3 million industry in St. Joseph - one that attracts audiences, spurs business development, supports jobs and generates government revenue. St. Joseph was selected along with St. Louis in Missouri, and a total of 91 communities.
