Just in case you are not familiar with NEFA's on-going creative economy work in New England, check out culturecount.org - a rapidly growing database of businesses, nonprofits and individual contributors to the creative enconomy in New England. Be sure to preview the Impact Calculator, which is currently only availalble for MA data.
