 | | To meet the challenges facing the state, it is time for Wisconsin to move forward with a public and private action agenda that uses the arts, culture, creativity and innovation -- the "creative economy" -- as essential tools for the state’s economic, educational and civic success. |
 | | It is. But the creativity and livability of these communities are a well-kept secret and must compete with the dominant image of Wisconsin – the Cheesehead (we all like to see an enthusiastic fan during a Packer broadcast, but that cannot be the only perception of Wisconsin globally). |
 | | Wisconsin must intentionally, strategically and collaboratively act to attract creative people to innovate products, services, and even business practices, or its attempts to benefit from the creative economy resources will remain unconnected, unmined, unpromoted. |
