Long Island Arts Alliance to Release Findings of
Economic and Social Impact Study of
Long Island’s Arts and Culture Industry
——————————————–
Long Island’s Nonprofit Arts and Culture Sector
Generates $330 Million in Economic Activity in 2022
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Long Island Arts Alliance (LIAA) will unveil the local results of Arts & Economic Prosperity 6(AEP6), a comprehensive economic and social impact study of Long Island’s nonprofit arts and culture industry. The study, conducted by Americans for the Arts in partnership with LIAA, demonstrates locally and nationally that arts and culture are a critical economic driver of vibrant communities.
Results of the study include total spending by nonprofit arts and culture organizations as well as event-related spending by their audiences–and the impact of that economic activity on jobs and tax revenue generated to Nassau and Suffolk Counties and the federal government.
Building on its 30-year legacy as the largest and most inclusive study of its kind, Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 represents a reset from its previous versions, establishing a new benchmark in the AEP study series.
Social Impact: For the first time, AEP6 expands beyond the economic and financial data to include social impact measurements of arts and culture’s effect on the well-being of communities and residents.
Equity and Inclusion: Americans for the Arts transformed its approach and expanded the inclusion and participation of organizations serving or representing communities of color.

ARTS & ECONOMIC PROSPERITY STUDY 6
– aep6.americansforthearts.
The newly released Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6) is an economic and social impact study of the nation’s nonprofit arts and culture industry. Building on its 30-year legacy as the largest and most inclusive study of its kind, AEP6 provides detailed findings on 373 regions from across all 50 states and Puerto Rico—ranging in population from 4,000 to 4 million—and representing rural, suburban, and large urban communities. In 2022, nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences generated $151.7 billion in economic activity—$73.3 billion in spending by the organizations, which leveraged an additional $78.4 billion in event-related spending by their audiences. The impact of this economic activity is far-reaching, supporting 2.6 million jobs, generating $29.1 billion in tax revenue, and providing $101 billion in personal income to residents.
AEP6 sends a strong signal that when we support the arts,
we are investing in both economic and community well-being.
