Abstract
When dilettantism rose in the 18 century, it was an expression of investigative curiosity and creative passion beyond the existing scientific canon. The innovative drive of dilettantes was soon afterwards belittled by the establishment and disappeared into the equation dilettante = charlatan, used until today. The pioneering spirit of dilettantism, however, rematerialized in the professional amateur (proam), a societal character that turns ideas and hobbies into activities of quasiprofessional standard. Especially in the arts, proams are numerous and carry a significant potential for social participation and innovation. This essay reflects on how cultural managers could take a role in recognizing, promoting and fostering the proam potential in the arts and in society.
