Otis College Report on the Creative Economy
The Otis College Report on the Creative Economy is a vital resource analyzing the influence and impact of creative sectors on the overall economy of California. Launched in 2007 as an annual publication, the report has evolved into an ongoing research program encompassing a series of timely studies, an interactive digital dashboard that highlights data and trends across creative sectors, and events related to the research.
Join Us for an Exclusive Webinar on the Creative Economy
Wednesday, July 31 from 3:00–4:00 p.m. PST
Discover the future of the creative industry with Otis College's upcoming webinar on the Creative Economy. This insightful event will delve into the latest trends, opportunities, and challenges within the creative sector, providing invaluable information for artists, designers, and creative professionals.
Creative Economy Dashboard and Report
Otis College’s creative economy dashboard is an interactive online resource that tracks the performance of the creative economy across California in real time. This free tool provides users with immediate access to current information, compiling data found in the previous reports, new data points, and expanded history and geographic coverage of the creative economy.
The dashboard also enables Otis to produce topical and timely updates about different aspects of the creative economy throughout the year. The dashboard and focused reports will replace the report’s previous, annual format. Alongside the launch of the dashboard, we released a report that reviews the most important changes in California’s creative economy over the past year.
Recent Research
Otis College has long been a leading chronicler of California’s creative economy, with reports issued annually since 2007. To complement the new creative economy dashboard, Otis College will regularly share in-depth research on relevant topics for individual creative sectors. These include a two part series on the evolving entertainment and production sector released in December 2023 and May 2024.
