The creative industries are tied to many facets of our personal lives and in our communities. The health and well-being of this economic sector reaches beyond what many consider, "the arts." As today is Election Day, this week's "creative:impact" focuses on the importance of elections and a cooperative spirit.
Creative industries in Washtenaw County add hundreds of millions of dollars to the local economy. Through the feature series, creative:impact, 89.1 WEMU's David Fair and co-host Deb Polich, the President and CEO of The Arts Alliance, will explore the myriad of contributors that make up the creative sector in Washtenaw County. creative:impact will air at 7:50am and 9:50am each Tuesday as part of Morning Edition.
