Wesley's Project

A data-driven initiative illuminating the impact of the creative economy. We transform raw data into compelling, accessible reports that help communities, organizations, and decision-makers better understand and invest in creative industries.

This is what we hear all the time...

❝

We know creative work matters. We just can't prove it in dollars.

Arts Organizations

❝

We need hard numbers to back up our grant proposals and funding applications.

Creative Agencies

❝

We're tasked with supporting creative economies - but don't have the data to guide our policies.

City Governments

Wesley's Project brings hard data to the stories you've been telling all along.

Why It Matters

This report makes the creative economy legible, so artists, advocates, and policymakers can work from the same facts - and move forward together.

Ty Stratton Developer

I've worked closely with the creative economy - interning at PATTERN, screenprinting, and selling clothes at trunk shows around Indy. I love it here, and I built Wesley's Project to support creative workers and small businesses. Now as a Business Intelligence Analyst at Van Ausdall & Farrar, and after presenting Wesley's Project at PATTERN's 2025 Creative Economy Summit, I'm focused on using this project to bridge the gap between design and data - Wesley's Project remains a love letter to both.
