Survey of 9/11's Economic Impact on Individual Artists in NYC The attacks of September 11 significantly impacted the arts and
entertainment sector, causing far-reaching effects on the livelihoods of individual artists, both those self-employed and those employed by others. This survey was conducted by The Government Outreach Committee of DowntownNYC! on behalf of the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) in conjunction with Consortium For Worker Education (CWE) in an effort to ascertain the economic impact of September 11th on the estimated 150,000 working artists of all disciplines, who are the key drivers for the arts and entertainment industry in New York City. The survey is an extension of the work done by NYFA’s New York Arts Recovery Fund and DowntownNYC’s previous survey regarding the economic impact of 9/11 on downtown businesses.
