In 2022, they injected $75.9 million into our local economy, just by attending nonprofit arts and culture events. Tacoma's nonprofit arts and culture audiences spend an average of $34.02 per person, per event (not including the cost of admission). This spending, which includes things like meals at local restaurants, local retail shopping, and transportation, makes a positive impact on our local economy. Your attendance at local arts and cultural events supports your favorite local spots and businesses!
