We know creative work matters. We just can't prove it in dollars.
Arts OrganizationsWe need hard numbers to back up our grant proposals and funding applications.
Creative AgenciesWe're tasked with supporting creative economies - but don't have the data to guide our policies.
City GovernmentsPick a county. The map shows the public numbers for that place: creative businesses, new applications, who's moving, what graduates earn, and how people there are doing. Short version on the map. The report is the longer one, for when someone asks you to prove it.
An organization starts with a domain. We read the site, draft a profile, and look for grants that fit the work and the county. Most useful when a grant is due and the local number is still a blank.
I started building Wesley's Project in 2024, trying to give back to the creative economy that shaped me as an artist. I sold clothes at trunk shows around Indy. Now I spend that time helping creative workers and small businesses with this. It's a love letter to design and data.
At Van Ausdall & Farrar I lead our AI initiatives and help organizations get AI working for them.
