Americans for the Arts is urging all artists and arts organizations to get their own free Dun & Bradstreet (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 they 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 the 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.
