What is the "Creative

Economy?"

Nurturing and Harvesting Creativity

As a source of regional employment

As it contributes to the competitive advantage in other sectors

As it attracts and retains businesses, tourists, and talent

As a source of inspiration and innovation

As an opportunity for under-served people and places

Creative

Industries

Contribute to the

Economy

Safe Art – Chelsea, VT – Group Project

The Big Picture: An Overview of Findings

Employment in the creative industries is about 8.9% of the total Region’s employment. Employment growth in the Region’s creative industries was 10.2% from 2010-2015 versus 8.2% for the U.S. and 7.6% for Vermont.The proportion of the workforce employed in creative industries in the Region is 86% above the similar national proportion.There is an awareness of the economic role and contribution of the Creative Economy in the Region based on the survey and discussions with business leaders and town officials.

Creative Economy Size and

Importance

Safe & Seen – Randolph, VT

The Region exhibits an unusually high relative concentration in its creative industries, especially for a rural region that lacks large-scale employers. Some are expected, such as food segments and design and fashion, but others are surprisingly high—namely literary arts and museums and heritage.

How Extensive is the Region’s Creative Economy?

Another way of comparing the relative economic importance of a set of industries, or cluster, is to compare it to other sets, or clusters, of industries in the same geographic region.

Cluster Comparison for the Region

Surveying Creative Enterprises

• A third indicated they have a strong need for affordable workspace.

• One in five indicated a need for co-working spaces with shared resources.

• The strongest need among all respondents was for affordable healthcare.

• Sixty percent indicated a need for publicity or media coverage.

• Overall, respondents indicated a dissatisfaction with local and regional support and opportunities for creative economic development.

• Respondents were particularly dissatisfied with public funding for creative enterprises and state taxes.

• Over half indicated dissatisfaction with the level to which government, development agencies, and foundations appreciate or understand the impact of creative enterprise on the economy.

What did we learn about their business

needs and issues?

Digging Deeper: Segmenting the Creative IndustriesThe creative industries were divided into seven distinct

segments in order to better understand the strengths of and

challenges facing each, and more effectively and efficiently

understand their needs.

Each is based on the data acquired through EMSI plus the

employment in creative enterprises that were “discovered” in

sectors not included in the industries identified as creative.

This provides a more detailed picture of how each segment is

organized and what its prospects are for the future.

Convergence and InnovationWhile the creative economy is important in its own right based on its contribution to the Region’s economy, many of its most important impacts are the side effects it has on other important sectors, or, as they are commonly called, clusters. Creative industries and people have far greater effect than what is revealed by what their data alone reveal.

The creative economy can be viewed as a “keystone species,” which is the biologists’ term for things that have impacts on their environment that is disproportionate to their scale.

In Support of the Creative Economy

• Social Organizations• Education and Training• Events and Festivals• Places, Spaces, and Venues• ResourcesBecause much of the value of creative economy is based on the manner in which its products are experienced and on the buzz that they generate, the creative economy depends heavily on support from a variety of physical, intellectual, technical, and social sources to deliver or provide services to the creative economy.

The value of the support system is far greater than the number of people it employs or the income it produces. Steampunk Festival – Springfield, VT

“Vermont is a unique place. Here you

have a cheese maker with a PhD. A

farmer who studies at Vermont Law

School, an engineer who sculpts. Such

pockets of novelty! It is a place where

the mind can flourish.” ~Forrest MacGregor, Engineer & Artist
