Creative Industries Beginning Online Today
BURBANK & LOS ANGELES, Calif. - March 2, 2015 - The annual Otis Report on the Creative Economy in the Los Angeles Region, and the state of California by Otis College of Art and Design will be the nexus of a new multimedia series on KCETLinks ARTBOUND beginning online today. The online vignettes will culminate in a one-hour television special, which will explore the economic and artistic forces that make up Southern Californias creative economy.
The broadcast special will premiere in Southern California on March 24 at 8 p.m. PT on KCET and nationally on March 30 at 8 p.m. PT/ET on Link TV (DirecTV 375 and DISH Network 9410). An encore presentation will air on March 29 at 6 p.m. PT on KCET and April 1 at 1 p.m. PT/ 4 p.m. ET on Link TV.
Prior to the broadcast, ARTBOUND will publish a series of multimedia installments that provide 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 annual Otis Report on the Creative Economy measures and assesses trends of creative fields. The report, commissioned by Otis College and generated by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation, describes the economic impact of Los Angeles creative industries and examines its role in the overall state business sector. Last years 2013 report revealed that the arts contributed $80 billion to the regions total gross product and comprised 1 in 7 jobs.
The 2014 report will be available for download online at www.otis.edu/otis-report-creative-economy on Wed., March 11, 2015. The release of the report coincides with an advanced screening of the television special at the Premiere House at Regal L.A. LIVE Stadium 14 in downtown L.A. Additional event details can be found at http://www.otis.edu/otis-report-creative-economy
Through this series, we want to help our viewers understand the undeniable importance of our creative industries in shaping not only the culture of our region but its role as a powerful economic driver in the state and the nation, said Juan Devis, Senior Vice President, Content, Development and Production, KCETLink. We are excited to be able to profile some of the creative leaders and experts who are behind the innovation and ingenuity tied to these expansive and distinctive industries and shed light on the importance of access to arts education as integral to the growth and health of our region.
This thought-provoking series will tell the stories inside the creative economy, presenting a behind-the-scenes look at the professionals and innovators who drive cultural enrichment and economic growth, said Dr. Kerry Walk, Interim President at Otis College of Art and Design. Since its inception, nearly a decade ago, the Otis Report on the Creative Economy has put real numbers to creativity, firmly establishing the economic impact of art, design, and entertainment. Otis is thrilled to be working with KCETLink and ARTBOUND to bring the report findings to life with an engaging multimedia exploration of Californias creative engine.
ARTBOUND will explore several key areas of the creative economy with multimedia posts that culminate into a one-hour broadcast special, including:
