Creativity Means Business

Creative Workforce

The arts create jobs in North Carolina

Creative occupations in North Carolina range from traditional occupations (artists, architects, graphic designers, film editors) to pioneering occupations where companies such as Spoonflower, an on-demand custom fabric company, or Zenph Sound Innovations, where old songs are reconstructed in modern studios, create products and services that position Creative North Carolina in a global marketplace.
