Found this interesting article in the local paper, here in Raleigh: http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/594682.html
It's the first paragraph that folks here would be interested in. Basically, it says that arts & culture are a bigger deal than most people think.
In fact, in this community in particular, if you add up all the arts and culture events...theatre, live music, dance, art exhibitions, etc etc....the numbers add up to "far bigger audiences" than seen at local professional and college sports events!
Hah! Take that dumb jocks!
