(Cazenovia, NY \u2013 April 2013) The arts, cultural, and heritage groups in the greater Cazenovia area have been meeting monthly and came together to establish \u201cThe Cazenovia Arts and Heritage Alliance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their first work has been to complete a study which collected and analyzed the current economic impact that the arts are having in Cazenovia. The results of this first study were presented April 3 to a standing room only, joint meeting of the Cazenovia Village and Town Boards.<\/p>\n
Inspired by the nationally recognized \u201cAmericans for the Arts\u201d study model, recently completed in Onondaga County, the Alliance consulted with Dr. Ronald Wright of Le Moyne College who had just overseen the greater Onondaga study.\u00a0 With his guidance the \u201cAlliance\u201d conducted a modified study for Cazenovia to better understand, document and communicate the dynamic impact of the \u201cArts\u201d in the Cazenovia community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cazenovia Arts and Heritage Alliance\u201d had 100 percent participation from all 17 non-profit cultural organizations that fit within the guidelines established for this first study.<\/p>\n
The study found compelling evidence that non-profit arts and cultural organizations are a $5.16 million industry in the Town and Village of Cazenovia. This industry supports 220 full-time equivalent jobs and generates $726,000 in local and state government revenue.<\/p>\n
Non-profit arts and cultural organizations, which spend $2.4 million each year on operations, programs and services, also leverage a remarkable $2.7 million in spending by their patrons and audiences\u2014spending that pumps vital revenue into local restaurants, hotels, retail stores and other area businesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cazenovia Arts and Heritage Alliance\u201d continues to meet monthly.\u00a0 Though this first study was specific to the impact of non-profits with in the Cazenovia borders, the Alliance welcomes all organizations who wish to work together with in its mission:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cazenovia Arts Heritage Alliance celebrates Cazenovia\u2019s unique history, creates and supports new artistic endeavors, and works to engage and enliven the citizenship through the arts.\u201d<\/p>\n
