Administered by Americans for the Arts, AEP6 will examine the economic impact of the arts and culture in Oregon and 386 additional communities representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The number of Oregon cities and communities participating is close to double what it was during the last AEP study in 2017 due to underwriting provided by Travel Oregon.
