In Kansas City, we’re told the economic impact of the arts totals a quarter of a billion dollars.
Follow across four short films as Artconomy evaluates how we, the public, contribute to that arts engine both as willing participants and taxpayers. Through interviews with art community leaders and artists themselves, we look at the numbers to see how Kansas City compares nationally when it comes to financing and supporting the arts.
Find the video series, Artconomy, on Wednesdays beginning Oct. 18 on flatlandkc.local, and as a 30-minute film at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 16 on KCPT. Follow the entire series at #Artconomy.
