Creative Economy

The creative economy makes a significant contribution to local and regional economic prosperity and UMass Amherst sponsors the Creative Economy Initiative to develop new activities and initiate programs that contribute to this powerful economic engine. These programs seek to develop highly collaborative partnerships in the region to promote the arts, encourage youth participation in the arts, engage our communities, and position UMass Amherst as a premier environment and facilitator for innovative arts activity. The Office of Creative Economy reflects UMass Amherst's leadership role in mobilizing resources in support of the region's artists, performers, and students of all ages.
