Abstract
What is the size of the economic footprint of artist-enterprises in terms of products and employment? There have been numerous efforts during recent years to measure it and very few countries and international organizations have been able to avoid this challenge. The estimates, however, are quite complex for at least various reasons. Even when they were based on the desire to explain and understand these challenges, they came up against methodological difficulties. As far as they are concerned, these activities are often non-commercial and public bodies often control prices so that consuers can have easy access to them.

The data have been obtained from two different sources. The data related to the demography of companies and institutions (obtained from the SIRENE and INSEE bases) have enabled us to prepare a series of data bases of the stocks and creations of cultural institutions at the regional level for the period 1993–2008. These series were further divided into four sectors: the cultural sector as a whole and the Arts, Performing Arts and Audiovisual sectors. Reference to surveys on employment conducted between 1993 and 2008 enabled us to determine the situation in each region on an annual basis regarding the major aggregates likely to influence the creation of cultural institutions.
