THE ECONOMIC CASE FOR THE ARTS
The Miami-Dade arts sector generates $2.1 billion annually and supports 32,000 jobs.
For every $1 invested, the cultural sector returns an average of $42 in local economic activity.
Cultural tourism draws 4.2 million visitors and delivers $348 million in public revenue each year.
Arts grants reach over 300,000 children and families annually via more than 100 local nonprofit partners.
Eliminating this funding does not solve a budget problem—it creates one. It would cause:
Closure of hundreds of community-based arts organizations.
Thousands of job losses in the creative and adjacent industries.
A significant drop in tourism and cultural spending.
Loss of safe, accessible spaces for youth, seniors, and families.
The Mayor’s proposed FY 2025-2026 budget
eliminates over $12.8 million in cultural grant funding
a 52% cut, and collapses the Department of Cultural Affairs,
jeopardizing one of Miami-Dade’s most powerful economic engines.
