The art of economic development By Kevin Dayhoff February 13, 2009

Im honored to be a part of Off Track Art. Its a great group of dedicated artists

who have come together to bring more art to Westminster and Carroll County.

With so many artists living in Carroll County, recent advances in technology, and Carrolls highquality of life, our area is poised and ready to attract many more artists - and cultural and artistic

shops, studios and venues to the greater Westminster area.

Hopefully, Off Track Art will be the start of many more studios and shops coming to enjoy the

wonderful opportunities that are available here in Westminster and Carroll County.

In my March 6th, 2006 Westminster Eagle column I wrote that art contributes to our community in

more ways than meets the eye.

The arts build a sense of community identity and pride. Arts programs and cultural events add to

our sense of community and quality of life by bringing people together for a shared experience.

Carroll County Arts Council board member JoAnn Hunter recently noted, "I enjoy getting together

with friends for dinner before an event at the Arts Center. I notice many other folks doing the same

thing.

This is good business for the town and helps builds a sense of community, she said.

Arts and cultural programming provide quality of life values to a family oriented community and

serves as an incubator and creative outlet for our children.

(Art) also brings a substantial return on the investment to Carroll County in the form of tax dollars

and increased economic vibrancy.

Not only does a strong and vibrant community arts and cultural presence strengthen spiritually and

philosophically - but it also strengthens a region economically.

The artistic and cultural soul of a community makes our communities better places to live and

work.

Arts and cultural centers are often an important factor used by businesses in their decision as to

whether to locate in an area such as Carroll County.

A prospective business will often gauge the health of a community by investigating the vigor of the

non-profit community, the faith community, youth oriented programming, recreation opportunities

and the level of art and cultural opportunities available for the community - and its employees.

Pam Zappardino, a leading arts and cultural advocate in the community says, I think that the Arts

Center, together with the other venues in the community like the Carroll Community College,

McDaniel College and Common Ground on the Hill, are a critical part of a healthy community. They

bring people to (Westminster) and this is good for the economic health of the community.

A region is not necessarily transformed by the power, quality and value of art, but by the greatersense of vibrancy, optimism and sense of self worth it provides.
