Based on Arts & Economic Prosperity V, a study recently completed by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with Americans for the Arts, the economic impact of Miami-Dade County’s non-profit arts and cultural industry is $1,430,512,813 million every year.

“These latest numbers are quantitative evidence of what we see all around us: our arts organizations, artists, theaters, festivals and museums have made Miami-Dade County one of the world’s most dynamic places to build a business, raise a family and come to visit,” states Adolfo Henriques, Chairman of the Miami-Dade Cultural Affairs Council. “The vibrancy of our extraordinary cultural life is why we are considered to be an international hub for a creative workforce and the place to be for economic innovation and cultural diversity.”
