Antfarm artists are part of these statistics! The arts in NC bring in more than utilities but less than construction! That’s amazing. Some of us also work in construction. Often art installations are required as a percentage of the total cost of a government building. Businesses, schools, local governments need site specific installations of custom signage, really cool bicycle racks, seating, gates, and more, all made by artists.
