Last month, Americans for the Arts released the Arts & Economic Prosperity IV study, which shows Los Angeles’s nonprofit arts community supports 37,000 jobs and generates $1.38 billion of activity in the local economy.

New findings from the Adobe State of Create Study suggest a global creativity gap in the world’s largest economies: US, UK, Germany, France and Japan.
