The arts are good for business  – and business is good for the arts.

The economic impact of a vibrant arts and cultural sector is important and unique, helping to attract and retain businesses and a talented workforce, supporting jobs, generating government revenue, serving as the cornerstone of tourism, inducing large amounts of related and ancillary spending by audiences, and helping local businesses thrive. TBBCA pARTnerships and programs connect, motivate and recognize the business community’s leadership and support of arts and culture as vital economic drivers, catalysts for innovation, creativity, transformation and development, and essential contributors to quality of life.
