The arts and culture sector includes the core creation of artistic and cultural goods and services as well as its distribution, management and support services.  It also includes publishing, motion picture and film-related activities as well as Internet publishing and broadcasting.  Full-time employment showed a 19% growth between 2001 and 2006.  This does not account for part-time artists and artisans, as well as others who engage in the sector for personal enjoyment.
