Providence asks arts administrators' advice in financial crisis
Mayor David N. Cicilline of Providence, Rhode Island might be an arts administrator's best friend. In the face of today's economic crisis, Mayor Cicilline recognizes the financial power of the arts in his city, commenting that they generated $111.8 million in economic activity in just one year. He considers the arts to be a major tourist attraction in Providence, and in an attempt to maintain this type of activity when travel is down, he has created a task force including city officials, local artists, and arts administrators to brainstorm on how the arts can contribute to the stability of the city.
