Summary: This major study aims to assess, for the first time, the importance of the arts to the economy in Britain. The arts sector can be seen as a huge industry, carrying out a wide range of activities, that contribute both directly and indirectly to the .economy. But, although it is known how much funding the arts receives, how ,it is financed, what individual sectors, such as drama, dance, theatre, of the arts earn; and how much they lose, there has been no attempt to provide an economic breakdown of the arts overall. Are the arts a growing industry whose potential has been overlooked, since no one knows how much it contributes economically? The report examines the arts from an economic aspect. It looks at the arts as an industry. What does it earn? Who does it employ? What is its market ·and who are the customers? Ha much is invested and is it sufficient? What room is there for growth?
