Creative Economy Success Story

The City of Hartford CT introduced their creative economy initiative in 2009 by creating jobs in the creative economy realm.  Recently 18 Hartford Artists were awarded grants that totaled $100,000.  Earlier in the year they gave $370,000 to 19 non-profit organizations to create arts-related jobs.  Over the last two years Hartford has invested over $2 million dollars in this initiative.
