Sign up for your D&B number
Americans for the Arts is urging all artists and arts organizations to get their own free Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) number—or if they already have a D&B number, to ensure that they are accurately coded as an arts organization or artist. Why? Because we have developed a new annual research initiative, Creative Industries, that uses D&B data to document the number of arts-related businesses and employees in any geographical region or political jurisdiction. If you don’t have a D&B number you are not represented in the data, and our analysis suggests a vast under-representation of nonprofit arts organizations and artists. Right now, Dun & Bradstreet shows only 22 dance companies in California! So sign up and be counted as part of this potent visibility and advocacy tool for advancing the arts in America.

Governor Schwarzenegger

The more e-mails he gets saying how important the arts are to our state, the more likely our per capita will increase from $0.27 cents per person to something closet to the National Average which is $1.17 per person
