In order to be included in IMPORTANT federal research on the influence 
of "Creative Industries" (i.e. to increase funding for the arts on a 
federal/state/and local level) we all need to sign up for a DUNS number. 
 I was shocked when I went to the OAC meeting last Monday, and they 
passed out a research report intended to show legislators how important 
the arts are to our economy, and under the category of # of dance 
organizations in OHIO, the number was THREE!!!  While I am prone to 
focus on dance, this report includes all "Creative Industries" (that's YOU).

I did some leg work to figure out how the heck they tallied the 
"creative industry" and found a place on the Americans for the Arts 
website, where they discuss the need to sign up for a DUNS number.  I am 
urging all of you (as organizations AND as individual artists - and 
please encourage your colleagues) to sign up for a number, so that we 
can show these "researchers" how prevelant the arts are in Ohio!  We 
NEED to be counted and included in federal AND statewide arts research, 
in order to demonstrate our contributions to the creative arts industries!.

Let's make Ohio COUNT!

A National Campaign to Register Artists and Nonprofit Arts Organizations 
with Dun & Bradstreet

Americans for the Arts is urging all artists and arts organizations to 
get their own free Dun & Bradstreet <http://www.dnb.com/us/> (D&B) 
number--or if they already have a D&B number, to ensure that they are 
accurately coded as an arts organization or artist. Why? Because we have 
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. If you 
don't have a D&B number you are not represented in the data, and our 
analysis suggests a vast under-representation of nonprofit arts 
organizations and artists. So SIGN UP AND BE COUNTED as part of this 
potent visibility and advocacy tool for advancing the arts in America.
