INTRODUCTION In the past, the economic potential of art and culture has been discovered and has been recognized as a major subject of economic policy. Over time, creativity is identified as the main characteristic of the two elements and considers creativity to have a dominant role in the arts and culture. Therefore, the term "Creative Industry" then commonly becomes a new term that can cover all branches where creativity is an important input factor.
