"A great primer and very useful introduction, across the silos, for
students and those interested in the frameworks of cultural
life."-Frank Hodsoll, former chairman, National Endowment for the
Arts "Blissfully eclectic in its content, and powerfully consistent
in its delivery, this book offers an essential perspective on the
arts, culture, and entertainment."-Andrew Taylor, director, Bolz
Center for Arts Administration, University of Wisconsin-Madison The
arts and creative sector is one of the nation's broadest, most
important, and least understood social and economic assets. It
encompasses nonprofit arts and cultural organizations, for-profit
creative companies such as advertising agencies, film producers,
commercial publishers, and community-based artistic activities. The
thirteen essays in this timely book demonstrate why interest in the
arts and creative sector has accelerated in recent years, the many
ways that the arts are crucial to the social and national agenda,
and the critical issues and policies that relate to their practice.
Leading experts in the field show, for example, how arts and
cultural policies are used to enhance urban revitalization, to
encourage civic engagement, to foster new forms of historic
preservation, to define national identity, to advance economic
development, and to regulate international trade in cultural goods
and services. Reflecting the rapid growth of the field of arts and
cultural policy, this book will be of interest to anyone wanting to
learn more and understand the intricacies of the cultural policy
field. Joni Maya Cherbo is an independent arts and cultural policy
scholar and consultant. Ruth Ann Stewart is a clinical professor of
public policy at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public
Service at New York University. Margaret Jane Wyszomirski is the
director of the graduate program in arts policy and administration
at Ohio State University.
