Invest in your business by investing in your community
Art is such an integral part of our community. What better way is there to stay involved with your patrons than by being involved in the things that matter to them?

Why It Matters
CHAW serves more than 5,000 children, adults, and audience members each year. Arts audiences don’t just attend performances—they dine locally, shop nearby, and invest in the neighborhood. Supporting the arts strengthens the local economy while demonstrating that your business values creativity, education, and community connection.
Here are just some of the ways the arts are good for business:

America’s nonprofit arts industry generates $166.3 billion in economic activity every year, resulting in $227.5 billion in federal, state and local tax revenues.
Spending by arts audiences on goods and services in addition to admission tickets—such as food, lodging and gifts—annually generates more than $102.5 billion in revenue.
Most U.S. employers (97%) say creativity is increasingly important to them. Eighty-five percent of employers looking to hire creative people say they are unable to find the applicants they seek.
