Building a creative industry base in Northeast Ohio requires us to think in new ways. We're lucky, in that a number of other regions -- mostly in the U.K, Australia, and New Zealand -- have been moving in this direction.

Last month, I made a presentation to the Akron Arts Alliance, where I reviewed the development of creative industries as an economic development framework.
