Focus to Drive the Creative Economy

One of the goals identified in Gwinnett County's 2040 Unified Plan was to enhance Gwinnett’s profile as a cultural destination where the arts educate, elevate, and inspire. This is done through cultivating the Creative Economy which covers the knowledge-based economic activities upon which the ‘creative industries’ are based. These industries include advertising, architecture, arts and crafts, design, fashion, film, video, photography, music, performing arts, publishing, research and development, software, computer games, electronic publishing and TV/radio.
