NGA Report on Rural Economic Development and the Arts

The National Governors Association (NGA) has published a report, entitled "Strengthening Rural Economies through the Arts," which shows how rural communities benefit economically from having arts organizations work in their area. Based on the findings, NGA recommends that the arts industry be integrated into state development planning, and that more money is invested in rural cultural recourses.
