  • "The creative industry thrives in Kentucky, playing an important role in building and sustaining the economic vibrancy of the communities in which it can be found. The industry creates jobs for Kentuckians who spend money locally, pay taxes, and contribute to the quality of life where they live. "

    2018 Kentucky Creative Industry Report - Kentucky Arts Council

  • "Creative industries are underestimated as drivers of economic development. They make for creative places. Creative places attract skilled workers and tourists. Kentucky, through its support of the arts and other creative enterprises, understands this."
