STATE/ FEDERAL PAYROLL TAXES - $ 32 MILLION
Cultural workers are taxpayers too. The non- profit arts
industry sparks jobs and activities that produce more
jobs, plus revenue and taxes. Based on sample statistics,
the average salary of full- time non- profit arts employees
is $ 30,094.5 The minimum state and federal payroll tax
withheld is estimated at $ 32 million, or 16 percent of
total payroll. ( This may vary widely based on individual
deductions.)
While the economic impact of individual artists is not
within the scope of this study, some new data emerged.
Most artists are working in the commercial or private
sector and/ or are self- employed full or part time. For
example, the survey shows that half of the state’s music
directors, 40 percent of its dancers, and a quarter of its
fashion designers and fine artists are employed by non-profit
arts organizations, while 95 percent of graphic
designers and 84 percent of art directors are at work in
the commercial sector. 6
Non- Profit Arts Impact in North Carolina
6,669 Direct Full- Time Jobs
$ 30,094 Average Salary
$ 32 Million in Taxes
Avg. Full- Time & Part- Time Payroll: $ 344,794 7
For most citizens and political leaders, job creation
and employer spending define economic growth and
development. In this realm the arts really produce. Just
under 2 percent of all jobs in North Carolina are in the
creative industry, from designers to journalists, gallery
owners to administrators, and teachers to touring artists.
Average employment in the non- profit arts sector –
an important part of North Carolina’s creative industry
– would make any small business proud.
That is just one of the findings in the exploratory study,
“ Economic Impact of Non- Profit Arts Organizations in the
State of North Carolina.” The study was conducted in 2003
by the John A. Walker College of Business at Appalachian
State University ( ASU). Michael Evans, Professor of
Management, and Dinesh Dave, Professor of Information
Technology and Operations Management, authored
the study.
The new study estimates that there were 6,669 direct full
time jobs in the non- profit arena. 2 Major non- profit arts
groups employ an average of 13 full time people, and can
double that number with part time and seasonal staff. 3
The arts are vibrant and diverse, reflecting changing
interests and tastes, yet arts organizations demonstrate
stability in their communities: the median age of the non-profit
arts organizations surveyed is 25 years. 4
