Arts and Economic Prosperity 6

Every five years, Americans for the Arts holds an Arts and Economic Prosperity study to document the economic and social impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry in communities around the country. In 2023, Montgomery County participated for the first time in the study as part of Arts and Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6).
