Excerpted from U.S. Department of Education News Release The $36 billion nonprofit arts industry is a source of future employment for students. The economic dimensions of the nonprofit arts sector are extensive at $36 billion. It jumps to $314 billion when the commercial arts sector is added." Arts in the Local Economy, National Assembly of the Local Arts Agencies, 1994 1992 State of the Arts Report, National Endowment for the Arts. "The Arts are not about artists: the Arts are about people. The Arts are also business, they create jobs and have an impact beyond the local level. Arts and artists renew urban strength." Excerpted from the Governor's Conference on the Arts, 1993 "The arts have a positive economic impact on a community. For every dollar spent on art ticket sales, three dollars were spent in the community for goods and services." Excerpted from Economic Study, California Arts Council " Students of the arts continue to outperform their non - arts peers on the Scholastic Assessment Test, according to the College Entrance Examination Board. In 1995, SAT scores for students who studied the arts more than four years were 59 points higher on the verbal and 44 points higher on the math portion than students with no coursework or experience in the arts." The College Board, Profile of SAT and Achievement Test Takers, 1995 "Pyramids, cathedrals and rockets exist not because of geometry, theories of structures or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture - literally a vision - in the minds of those who built them." Historian Eugene Ferguson "Plato once said that music 'is a more potent instrument than any other for education.' Now scientists know why. Music, they believe, trains the brain for higher forms of thinking." Why Do Schools Flunk Biology, Newsweek February 19, 1996 LODI ARTS COMMISSION MISSION STATEMENT ♦ The arts are lasting! ♦ The arts communicate wisdom and knowledge through the ages. • The arts inspire us to rise above the everyday, allowing expression and experience of our emotions and spirit. ♦ The arts are the universal language of the human spirit and bring people together in mutual respect and understanding. • The creative spirit that manifests artistic expression must be nurtured, encouraged, supported and valued as a primary basis for a quality life.
