Art generates value in the world’s economy in various direct and indirect forms, affecting sectors, jobs, tourism, and culture. Now, let us explore the market for art and how it creates employment and contributes to the economies of regions across the globe.
Art Market and Sales
- The art world is a huge market and business worth numerous billion dollars, revolving around artwork and its production.
- This market comprises fine art, digital art, collectibles, and decorative pieces.
- The maze of auctioneers such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s and a world of galleries fuel this industry, as some artworks go under the hammer for millions of dollars.
New emerging markets:
- The art originated in the Western world.
- However, more and more countries are emerging and participating in the global art scene through different mediums, including online platforms and art sales.
Employment and Job Creation
- A plethora of jobs can fall under the creative economy, namely those of artists, curators, art dealers, gallery employees, art critics, art teachers, or museum personnel.
- Arts per se, such as graphic artists, animators, and fashion designers, are also somewhat included in the advertising, film, and publishing industries, which further benefits the economy.
- The world of art creates the world of business, such as the market for art stores, frames, art shipping and transport, and so on.
Cultural Tourism
- Tourism has many factors, but art and culture are key motivators.
- Cities famous for their art museums, galleries, and festivals receive millions of tourists every year.
- Art tourism greatly benefits cities with notable institutions such as the Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
- Such names are only a few of the art institutions that can be featured at art festivals, biennales, and exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale, Art Basel, and other events.
- These events attract international tourists and art collectors, providing more income to the hospitality, travel, and retail industries.
Real Estate and Urban Development
- Along with cultural districts and public art, cities can reconstruct areas.
- This has happened in the United States.
- The art community’s gentrification stimulated property prices and even set up new enterprises.
- With the cause of art, urban planning, and cities, architects have been creating and constructing spaces purposely created for galleries, theaters, and museums to develop the city’s charm or a specific neighborhood.
As a result, more residents, businesses, and tourists are drawn to the city, which boosts the area’s economic growth, thanks to public art initiatives.
Art Education and Skills Development
- Creativity and critical thinking are vital for success in the modern economy, which emphasizes the development of artists. Those who graduate in the arts and other disciplines that incorporate creativity in their work often work in areas such as technology, marketing, and education, thus making economically viable contributions.
Art schools, universities, and education programs further contribute to the economy by educating people, creating jobs, and utilizing commodities and services.
Cultural Exports and Soft Power
- Art takes many forms, including fine art, performing art, music, and films.
- These are exported to other countries, where they earn income and are valued in culture.
- For instance, Southern California’s film market and K-pop music in South Korea boost those countries’ markets.
- Cultural art reveals the power of soft diplomacy as it opens trade in the economy and creates opportunities for countries through relationships created by exhibitions, arts, performances, and other forms of art.
Innovation and Technology
- Art, in its various forms, enhances creativity in many areas, including technology.
- Digital art, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), and virtual exhibitions are some of the current trends in the art world that explore expanding the way art has been traditionally created and even monetized.
- Industries that utilize the visual arts, such as video game development, animation, and augmented and virtual reality experiences, are expanding exponentially and are merging culture and technology in their processes to make billions of dollars.
- Creative industries also help advance technologies and innovations, such as 3D printing and other visualization tools, that can be used in different industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and education.
Art as an investment
- Art is no longer the exclusive preserve of art collectors.
- It is also considered a form of investment, with the rich and institutions acquiring pieces of art as part of an investment strategy in an attempt to minimize risk.
- Everyday art becomes a means of lending and investment.
- This is because of art investment funds and art-backed loans.
- This allows artworks to be treated like other financial instruments and integrated into the world’s economy.
The rise in the purchase of expensive art also stimulates the need for art insurance services, appraisal services, and even investment consulting agencies.
Non-profit and philanthropy
- Art cuts across all sectors of society, particularly culture, and provides an economic angle.
- This is why most art institutions, such as museums and cultural organizations, operate on a non-profit basis.
- Wealthy people and corporations that create art and engage in non-profit philanthropy make it their responsibility to donate money for public art, museums, and educational programs to promote cultural and economic development.
- These institutions also support local economies by attracting tourists, offering job opportunities, and buying supplies and services from various local businesses.
The Role of Art in Society
- Raising awareness about social problems and striving for social change indirectly contribute to the economy by building more diverse and fairer societies.
- Community art and public murals have the potential to regenerate deprived areas, enhance social tourism, and contribute to social and economic conditions.
- Various avenues through which art contributes to the economy, be it the sale of works of art or tourism, exist among many intercultural zones.
- This revolves around culture or adipogenesis.
- Art raises the economic level of the communities and sectors and promotes societal unity.
- It brings about cultural advancement, which are important factors in the economy in the long run.
- It is also worth noting that the creative industry is firmly establishing its position as one of the economy’s constantly expanding sectors.
Do not hesitate to inquire if you desire to clarify concerns regarding a specific area of art’s economic impact.

The German Shepherd Dog, sometimes abbreviated GSD is originally from Germany and originally called “Deutscher Schäferhund” also DSH. German Shepherds are known for their intelligence, loyalty an biddability. The are curious, loyal, confident and great companions for the right person.
Learn the skills to train your dog. GCA FORUMS
Even though there are several different types of German Shepherds, all stem back to Max Von Stephanitz who is credited with founding the German Shepherd Dog in the late 1800’s. Max’s belief was that the dog should be bred for working. He started the SV Schäeferhund Verein / The Society for the German Shepherd which today still stands for the proper breeding and continuation of the GSD. The SV has been in operation since 1899.
German Shepherds are and have been one of the most popular breeds for many years. As a breed standard they are
70-95lbs and 60-65cm 24-26″ for males 55-74lbs and 55-60cm 22-24″ for femalesGerman Shepherds have an average lifespan of 9-14 years
Common health problems German Shepherds face are:hip and elbow displasiabloatepilepsycataractsdegenerative disc disease
German Shepherds are classified in the herding group by kennel clubs but are commonly used in obedience and protection sports, SAR as well as military and police work. They are best known for the sport of Schutzhund, IPO / IGP. It is a sport that was made for German Shepherds to harness their 3 primary skills OBEDIENCE, TRACKING and PROTECTION.
We classify German Shepherds into 3 lines:1.Working Lines2.Show Lines3.Pet Lines
Show lines differ slightly from AKC/ UKC to the Sieger Show lines. Mainly the conformation structure of the dogs, the work ability and the size. There has been much controversy over this in recent years.
Sieger line German Shepherds are bred for temperament and looks as they need to show courage and working ability to be titled and compete. These ratings are critical to potential breeders, especially to GSD aficionados, particularly in Germany where there are strict regulations.
The pure working line dogs are not considered as beautiful by some, but are those that most closely resemble the look and temperament of Max Von Stephanitz. Working line German Shepherds are usually not a good fit for everyday pet homes. They require, training, structure and activity or they can become very destructive.
All German Shepherds will require training and a fair, but firm handler. They must be properly socialized at an early age to prevent aggressive behaviors.
Pet line dogs are usually the spill off from show line and working line dogs that wouldn’t or didn’t make the cut. They can still be fantastic pets for the right owner. It’s never a good idea to buy a dog from a puppy mill or pet store. Choose where your dog comes from carefully. Check local dog clubs, national clubs, rescues and IPO / Schutzhund clubs.
German Shepherds come in various colors. Their coats generally range from short to long.
The most popular German Shepherd is the Black and Tan / Red Saddle. These dogs resemble Rin Tin Tin and most German Shepherds in ads and TV / movies.
Bi Color is a mostly black dog with brown legs and underside.
Solid Black is exactly that, a solid black dog.
and lastly the Sable, my favorite. Sable is a mix of silver, gray and tan hairs tipped with black. The sable is considered the original dog sharing its DNA with their wolf ancestors. It is the ONLY color that didn’t stray from Max Von Stephanitz’s ideology.
White German Shepherds are banned from registration in Germany. The AKC will register White German Shepherds but they are disqualified from the show ring.
German Shepherds make great companions, but it is important to get the right one. Unless you’re inteding on participating in serious competitive sports, don’t get a high drive working line dog. Get a nice quality pet that you can live with. A good breeder can steer you in the right direction.
Remember a German Shepherd will need good training, socialization (early on) and structure and leadership its entire life. Be extremely careful when choosing your German Shepherd and remember that the puppy you take home today means a 10PLUS year commitment to that dog.

Kamala Harris is on the campaign trail, self-proclaiming that the Biden-Harris Administration has successfully battled inflation from 9% to 3%. It’s a total deception. The cost of goods and services has skyrocketed under their Administration. Kamala Harris has bragged the border has substantially reduced illegal immigration under her watch. Not true. Harris supports DEFUNDING THE POLICE. She has lobbied to release prisoners from jail. She has supported LA MAYOR Eric Garcetti’s defunding of the Los Angeles Police Department budget by $150 million. Harris is a Socialist who doesn’t care about the working people. Kamala Harris is nothing but a hypocrite and lying POS brainless dumfuck.
