Sounding a new, clear note about the ka-ching of art | IndyStar.com: "Humankind does not live by bread alone, and that's where the arts (at least at the secular level) come in. For the community as for the individual, a life limited to material getting and spending can never be fully satisfying or truly rich. Without the sweetness and fiber of music, dance, painting, sculpture, literature and the lens, our most loaded civic banquet table is just so much . . . bread.
Yet, speaking of 'bread,' it seems the arts deliver there as well.
The latest confirmation of that hard fact came this week from the Arts Council of Indianapolis, which released findings from a national study estimating a $469 million annual impact from local nonprofit arts organizations. That's nearly a 60 percent increase from five years ago. And it's three times the impact a different study ascribed to the Colts, though there's no disputing the tangible and intangible worth of that organization either."
