Massachusetts defines the creative economy to include without limitation the many interlocking industry sectors that center on providing creative services such as advertising, architecture or creating and promoting intellectual property products such as arts, film, computer games, multimedia, or design.  Our Commonwealth is on the leading edge in supporting our cultural non-profits, individual artists, and creative industries, which we see as among the most important keys to economic development in the Commonwealth.
