We hear a lot in the United States ”“ the rest of the world has an entirely different attitude ”“ that culture and commerce don”™t mix. But consider this: According to the Americans for the Arts Action Fund, the arts are an $878 billion industry that”™s larger than construction and education, adding 4.5% to the GDP and 5.1 million jobs while contributing about $114 billion to New York state coffers and $9.8 billion to Connecticut”™s. These numbers may have suffered under Covid and inflation, but what hasn”™t?
Still, you can mull this over at your next art outing, including the Armonk Outdoor Art Show, which takes place rain or shine from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1 and 2 at 205 Business Park Drive. Purchase tickets in advance at armonkoutdoorartshow.org.
