Otis Report on the Creative Economy

Artbound and Otis College of Art and Design deeply engage the Otis Report on the Creative Economy through online articles and short video segments. This series of multimedia installments provides a comprehensive exploration around select creative contributors and their respective impact to the region, including the fashion industry, digital media, arts education, and the role of creative placemaking in the economic health and growth of our communities. The project culminates with "The State of Creativity: A Look into the Otis Report on the Creative Economy," a one-hour special.
The 2014 Otis Report became available for download online at Otis' website on Wed., March 11, 2015.
