  25. National Leaders in Cultural Economic Development • Vermont – Advancing Vermont’s Creative Economy, Vermont Council on Rural Development • Washington – Creative Vitality Index (CVI) • Wisconsin – Grow Wisconsin

  26. Arts WisconsinGrow Wisconsin Creatively2006 “From New England to New Zealand, public and private investment in culture and innovation is being acknowledged as essential to education, business incubation, attraction and retention plans, tourism opportunities, and community engagement… Wisconsin must intentionally, strategically and collaboratively act to attract creative people to innovate products, services, and even business practices, or its attempts to benefit from the creative economy resources will remain unconnected, unmined, unpromoted. Other states and countries will race past us, and Wisconsin and its economy will not benefit from the creative, talented individuals being trained at our colleges, universities, and technical schools.”

  27. Arts Council of England2006 “At a time of intense international competitiveness, arts and creativity will continue to play a significant part in injecting innovation and enterprise into the economy... The place of arts in creating living, vibrant communities is now widely understood. We want to build on the increased recognition within government departments to make these benefits more widely available.”

  28. Creativity Minister, David Hanson, MPDepartment of Culture, Arts and LeisureUnited Kingdom (UK)February 5, 2006 “Northern Ireland’s creative industries have an important role in helping the UK become the world’s creative hub. Creative industries in the UK are growing twice as fast as any other - at the rate of 8% per year. Latest estimates suggest that Northern Ireland has around 2,500 creative enterprises employing 33,000 people or 4.7% of the workforce and generating over £900m per year or around 5% of the economy. As such the sector has a vital contribution to make and should not be viewed as being on the fringe, but as a central part of our economy. Creativity is all about new ideas, new products and services, new business sectors, new business models and new types of business support.”

  29. THE BUILDING BLOCKS

  34. HAL Initiatives • offer opportunities to enhance the cultural sector’s economic competitiveness and sustainability • provide incentives to achieve state of Michigan priorities

  35. HAL Initiatives • marshal and leverage additional state resources for cultural sector access and growth • compliment and accelerate ongoing community cultural economic development initiatives

  36. The following departmental initiatives provide the priority ‘action steps’ to accomplish our strategic cultural economic development goal and objectives for Fiscal Year 2007:

  37. DEPARTMENTAL INITIATIVES CEDOT Cultural Economic Development Online Tool CEDOT is a web-based tool to: 1) estimate the economic impacts of cultural facilities and programs, 2) collect information on HAL markets and suppliers (e.g., artists, craftspersons, entertainment venues, etc.), 3) scientifically conducted case studies , 4) design and deliver training to develop the next generation of cultural leaders and entrepreneurs, and 5) survey of households throughout the United States with emphasis on residents of the Great Lakes and Michigan.

  38. DEPARTMENTAL INITIATIVES TRAVEL MARKETING HAL and Travel Michigan will partner to provide increased marketing visibility to the state’s cultural magnets, those places and institutions in Michigan with the power to attract and hold people and businesses, define local or regional cultural heritage or draw tourists. The HAL/Travel Michigan partnership program aims to leverage state and local resources to promote Michigan’ cultural assests. In an effort to accommodate the entire tourism industry, Travel Michigan developed three partnership programs: Out-of-State Marketing Partnership, Pay-Per-Click (increasing web traffic to partners’ web sites), and In-State Marketing Partnership.  The partnership will include value added benefits and public relations support.

  39. DEPARTMENTAL INITIATIVES MSHDA PARTNERSHIP The Department has an opportunity to help grow MCACA’s existing Capital Improvements Program through infusion of additional matching resources from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA). MSHDA has expressed interests in working with the Department and MCACA in developing a joint program of support for development of live/work spaces for artists, designers and other creative entrepreneurs and communities that emphasize arts and culture amenities as attractors. Such spaces could include artist incubators, design studios, artist studios, production facilities, shops, galleries and public gateways and cultural magnets.

  40. DEPARTMENTAL INITIATIVES MDOT ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM The Enhancement Program’s mission is to improve the quality of life for Michigan citizens by providing funding and other assistance, creating and responding to opportunities to enhance Michigan’s transportation system. The program seeks to create partnerships with federal, state and local government agencies, private for profit and non-profit organizations to promote and facilitate: community preservation, sustainability and livability, economic development, protection of the human and natural environment, and statewide and local tourism.

  41. DEPARTMENTAL INITIATIVES COMMUNITY CED READINESS Community CED Readiness Initiative will be implemented to provide communities to help guide them through the requisite steps toward engaging in productive cultural economic development and creation of initiatives that value and support culture and its economic potential. Communities fully participating in this process will gain increased expertise and access to state resources and marketing.
