Over 22,000 people work in creative industries across Devon and Torbay, and this number is set to rise in the coming years. The creative industries sector is not just a key player in our overall quality of life - it also promotes the image of Devon nationally and internationally. And it is making a significant contribution to our local economy.

Devon County Council, Torbay Council and Arts Council England (South West) have commissioned some research to improve our common understanding of the current state of the creative industries in Devon and Torbay.
