According to the latest Arts and Economic Prosperity study conducted every five years, the impact on San Diego County's economy is $1.3 billion.
Up and down Carlsbad Village, there are shops and eateries everywhere.“New Village Arts itself provides $2.6 million of economic impact to North County San Diego every year,” said Kristianne Kurner, founder and executive director of the 22-year-old company.The arts supported 19,771 jobs and generated nearly $321 million in tax revenue for local, state and federal governments, according to the study.
The study measures event-related spending by audience, which includes things such as restaurant dining, parking or transportation, and child care.Across the street from New Village Arts is Pure Project brewing company. Events supervisor Kylie Volk said she notices an increase in customers every time there’s a show.
"When the shows are on Fridays and Saturdays and even those matinee shows and Sunday mornings, people go do their brunch, they get their New Village Arts on, and then they'll come over to us and swing by for a beer," she said."So we definitely see more foot traffic.”"Those people are going to go out to have dinner, they're going to have drinks, they're going to visit the local shops," she said.
For the first time this year, the report measures the economic impact of BIPOC — Black, indigenous and people of color — organizations. Kurner said 70% of New Village Arts full-time staff identify as BIPOC. “We can make the argument of why it's so important from a cultural standpoint, but when you can also show that it's just as financially important, I think that is so important to our community and to the health of our community,” she said.As a North County multimedia producer, Alexander Nguyen creates content for all of KPBS' platforms, including the web and social media.Maine shooter's body was found near a scene that had been searched by policeGaza residents break into U.N.
