DESCRIPTION: CMHC-Granville Island\, Vancouver Fringe Festival\, and The 
 Cultch ( Vancouver East Cultural Centre) partnered with LOCO BC to measure
  the economic and community impact of performing arts organizations in 
 Vancouver. We'd like to share the findings with our peers: Up to $9.5M in 
 economic output in one season $5 in provincial economic output for every 
 $1 ticket sold Every $1 of grant revenue generates 4&ndash\;10&times\; in 
 economic output Up to 97% of spending recirculates within B.C. / Canada Up
  to $3.9M in net-new patron spending in surrounding neighbourhoods per 
 season 99% of patrons agree government support of the arts is important We
  treated this as a pilot &mdash\; if you'd like to measure your own 
 impact\, we'd welcome your input on the next steps we can take together to
  make it happen. Our goal is to collaborate on an open-source toolkit 
 other organizations can adapt. Please RSVP by November 18\, 2026\, if you 
 can attend.
