Drawing on the perspectives of experts from diverse fields (including Princeton scholars Robert Wuthnow and Paul DiMaggio; Barry Schwartz, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Paradox of Choice\u003c\/em\u003e; 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, \u003cem\u003eEngaging Art\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new framework for understanding the momentous changes impacting America’s cultural life over the past fifty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233580732760,"sku":"9780415960427","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415960427.jpg?v=1768550456","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/engaging-art","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
