The creative sector is a vital part of the state's identity, economy, and the quality of life of its residents. The creative sector –including arts experiences, artistic goods for sale, artisanal foods, and cultural sites— drive significant tourism to the state. And likewise, much of the creative sector relies heavily on the tourist market. In this session, we'll explore the role of the creative economy in Vermont—specifically new research on the creative economy in the NEK, the challenges it faces, and some the strategies to connect the creative sector with the tourism market.

Target Audience: Attendees interested in the arts and culture as an economic driver and/or residents of the Northeast Kingdom
