SUMMARY:The Arts and Creative Economy: Understanding its Value to Orleans
DESCRIPTION:The strength of the Orleans economy depends on local businesses.  As a popular vacation spot and retail hub for the lower Cape that is driven by both local shoppers and out of town visitors\, the creative is a key attraction that brings visitors to town.  This is not unique to Orleans.  In fact\, cities across the country have benefitted from unearthing and highlighting the importance of the arts   visual\, musical and theatrical to their economic vitality. \n\n \n\nAt this Forum\, Randy Cohen\, Vice President of Research at Americans for the Arts\, will bring his decades of experience detailing the economic impact of the arts to local communities.  In addition\, works of local artists will be showcased and music will be provided by Fred Fried to celebrate the contributions of the local creative economy.  \n\n \n\nThe OCF will have its annual meeting as part of the evening. \n\n \n\nJoin us for a reception following the presentation. \n\n \n\nWe believe this will be a popular event.  Please RSVP to info@orleanscitizensforum.org to be sure we have seating for all.
