Savannah, among 99 other communities, has been selected by Americans for the Arts, a nonprofit organization for advancing the arts, to complete a Local Arts Index. The index will be the first of its kind done at the community level, measuring the vitality of the arts industries throughout the United States.
“The index will be an important tool in planning for the future,” said Eileen Baker, director of the Department of Cultural Affairs. “It will help our local arts community – nonprofit, government, for-profit, individual artists and other stakeholders in developing strategies to keep programs strong and relevant to our community.”
