Book Description
Despite its size, quality, and economic impact, the arts community is not articulate about how they serve public interests, and few citizens have an appreciation of the myriad of public policies that influence American arts and culture. The contributors to this volume argue that U.S. policy can--and should--support the arts and that the arts, in turn serve a broad rather than an elite public. By encouraging policy-makers to systematically start investigating the crucial role and importance of all of the arts in the United States, The Arts and Public Purpose moves the field forward with fresh ideas, new concepts, and important new data.
Arts Attendance in the Nation
Author: Nicole L. Santiago
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781634823890
Category : Art museum attendance
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
The Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) is the nation's largest and most reliable survey of how American adults (ages 18 and older) engage with the arts. The study of arts participation patterns is cogent to arts organizations, arts funders, and cultural economists--who have used prior surveys to inform their understanding about arts audiences or to gauge public demand for specific arts experiences. At a more fundamental level, the SPAA showcases the stunning plurality of art forms, genres, venues, and events and activities that constitute arts participation as a whole. This book discusses the barriers, and motivations of individuals attending arts in the nation.

Engaging Art
Author: Steven J. Tepper
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135902593
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Engaging Art explores what it means to participate in the arts in contemporary society – from museum attendance to music downloading. Drawing on the perspectives of experts from diverse fields (including Princeton scholars Robert Wuthnow and Paul DiMaggio; Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice; and MIT scholars Henry Jenkins and Mark Schuster), this volume analyzes key trends involving technology, audience demographics, religion, and the rise of "do-it-yourself" participatory culture. Commissioned by The Wallace Foundation and independently carried out by the Curb Center at Vanderbilt University, Engaging Art offers a new framework for understanding the momentous changes impacting America’s cultural life over the past fifty years. This volume offers suggestive glimpses into the character and consequence of a new engagement with old-fashioned participation in the arts. The authors in this volume hint at a bright future for art and citizen art making. They argue that if we center a new commitment to arts participation in everyday art making, creativity, and quality of life, we will not only restore the lifelong pleasure of homemade art, but will likely seed a new generation of enthusiasts who will support America’s signature nonprofit cultural institutions well into the future.

Audience Development
Author: National Endowment for the Arts. Research Division
Publisher: Arts Research Division
ISBN:
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Several specific objectives have had wide recognition in the arts community, namely: to broaden the audience for the performing arts, to determine the applicability of sophisticated tools of marketing to the problem of generating demand for the arts, to find the best predictors of arts attendance, and to develop strategies that will appeal to those who, by these predictors, are potential attenders. This research report summarizes a study conducted in 1977 by Alan R. Andreasen and Russell W. Belk. The investigators collected new audience data in a carefully controlled group of surveys in four southern cities (Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Columbia, and Memphis), and applied to these data a number of sophisticated measuring and marketing techniques to discover efficient and effective methods for inducing marginal attenders of the performing arts to become frequent patrons. Although no hitherto untried means to this end were uncovered, this publication makes advanced techniques more comprehensible and accessible to arts administrators. In addition, by analyzing characteristics that move or do not move people to attend performing arts events, and from that analysis deriving strategies capable of altering factors that lead to nonattendance, enough practical conclusions were reached to recommend an extended program of experimentation in the four cities studied.
