It was at that summit that I learned how interconnected the art industry is with the local economy - that the arts mean business. Since that summit, I&rsquo;ve noticed that a rising number of galleries in downtown Flagstaff have been closing their doors. This project is an attempt to overview what exactly is changing in the art industry and what the future of art in Flagstaff is by talking with local business owners, art leaders, and artists about the state of the art-based economy, business strategies, and the importance of the First Friday ArtWalk.</p>
