Resources
Reports, organizations and people fueling the creative economy
An increasing range of resources are available to diverse constituencies that seek information on specific aspects of the creative economy such as research data, advocacy groups, consortia, and case samples of initiatives and policies. This page, still under construction, aims to serve as a convenient conduit to national, state, and regional resources. Resource suggestions are most welcome; the content here, in fact, depends on communal input.
Please submit suggestions to econreportresources@otis.edu
