The Creative Economy in Illinois has been released by Arts Alliance Illinois.  The report was prepared by Northern Illinois University's Center for Governmental Studies.  This research was done through Governor Pat Quinn's Illinois Creative Economy Initiative.

The creative economy is made up of creative enterprises and the people and businesses involved in their success and growth.  This sector provides amazing potential to advance economic, social and cultural development in Illinois.  The report highlights the work of the 36-member Roundtable representing for-profit and nonprofit cultural organizations throughout the state.  See the entire report at this link or the attached document.
