Where you included in these numbers?
The Broward Cultural Division is encouraging all artists and arts organizations to obtain your own free Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) number, to ensure that you, or your company, are accurately coded as an arts organization or artist.

Americans for the Arts has 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.  Creative Industries 2005: The Congressional Report PDF – statistically measures the scope and economic size of the arts in America.

If you do not have a D&B number you are not represented in the data and this analysis suggests a vast under-representation of non-profit arts organizations and artists.  So SIGN UP AND BE COUNTED!  The process is free and takes only minutes to complete. To find your DUNS number please go to:   http://mycredit.dnb.com/.   If you do not have a DUNS number, you can get one for free by either calling 1-866-705-5711 or registering online at www.dandb.com/establish-business-credit.
