Past Reports

Summit County Arts & Culture Impact Report

Produced by the Arts Council in partnership with Summit County.

For the last few years, the Arts Council produced a series of State of the Arts reports that assessed the impact of the Arts and Culture Sector in Summit County as well as local investments made into the arts during the same year.

The reports provide a glimpse into the health of our local Arts and Culture sector and helps us track changes over time. These State of the Arts reports are a direct result of the recommendations made in the 2018 Project ABC Cultural Plan.
