The Otis Report on the Creative Economy includes a 5-year employment projection, and investigates the direct and indirect economic impact of industries such as Fine and Performing Arts, Digital Media, Entertainment, Architecture, Interior Design, Fashion, Toy and Communications Arts. On November 10, the report will be presented to the public followed by a panel discussion.
