The University of Maine Museum of Art in downtown Bangor was included in a Bangor Daily News article about a recent study that found the city’s nonprofit art and cultural organizations in 2015 generated $10 million in economic activity and created hundreds of full-time jobs. The study, completed by the Washington D.C. lobbyist group Americans for the Arts, found that 14 nonprofits in Bangor, including the UMaine Museum of Art, Penobscot Theatre Co., American Folk Festival, Maine Discovery Museum, and Bangor Historical Society, spent $3.4 million in fiscal 2015, and audiences at their events spent $6.6 million, the BDN reported.
