READ MORE | COMMENT NOWQuantifying the artistic life
We like to think of creativity as a mysterious, indeterminate quality that resists being measured. But it's also a potent economic reality, as the National Endowment for the Arts emphasizes — through the drama of statistics — in a comprehensive new report [PDF]. Released yesterday, Artists in the Workforce: 1990-2005 synthesizes data from the last two U.S. censuses as well as the American Community Survey to give a statistical portrait of the artist in our society — the first such report the NEA has published in the 21st century.

For Northwest history geeks, the most anticipated film event of the season is a rare chance to see a rare film, the just-restored 1914 silent, In the Land of the Head Hunters by Seattle's photographic master Edward S. Curtis. Known most for his monumental work photographing North American Indians, Curtis is mainly remembered and widely collected as a still photographer. Yet he also worked in film (including a stint for Cecil B. DeMille) during cinema's infancy. The "shadowcatcher" caught moving pictures, and his feature will be on screen again in June.
