Abstract European cultural policies experienced a decentralization process in the late twentieth century, in which regional and local governments took center stage rather than central governments. Thus, Spain represents a prominent and unique case in this trend, in which a state that inherited absolutism and centralist and authoritarian government, also adopted a decentralized model in cultural policy very quickly on its return to democracy. However, it did not take on a federal form of shared government but rather a decentralized government where the regions undertook active cultural actions. Nevertheless, as of the year 2000 and especially after the great recession of 2008, the Ministry of Culture, traditionally located in the capital, resumed the centralist path under a national construction program of a large hegemonic capital, namely Madrid. The undertaking of a research project and the analysis of secondary data lead us to the conclusion that the central government has progressively shelved cultural decentralization, adopting a hierarchical and unifying conception of cultural policy, that is, a cultural recentralization.

Abstract While previous studies have examined cultural democracy in connection with cultural policies enacted by policymakers, they have overlooked the role of public participation and mobilization. This study explores how cultural democracy is achieved by collective mobilization. Our case study of Guggenheim Helsinki shows that rising cultural globalization triggered a social movement to resist diminishing representation of national identity. A bottom-up process of collective mobilization created pressures on policymakers to direct cultural policies toward maintaining the dominance of local culture. In particular, cultural democracy was delivered through public participation in the control of culture while rejecting cultural globalization.

Abstract This article examines ways of enabling the professional development of artists with cognitive disability who wish to build an artistic career in Australia. It investigates two case studies of the arts management of supported studios through semi-structured interviews with art staff. Thematic analysis indicates four aspects of professional development for artists with cognitive disability at individual and organizational levels: environmental setting, strategic approaches, networking, and skills and career development. The article discusses the central role of supported studios and art staff in helping artists with cognitive disability achieve their aims to pursue professional artistic careers.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature and interplay of the logics that inform the day-to-day work of small cultural productions. Positioned in the literature on cultural and creative industries, it embraces a discourse perspective and in particular the concept of “polyphony” as an analytical lens. Empirically, the paper draws on a case study of a music association, in which the authors especially followed the production of a music festival. What emerges is a situation of pluralism of discourses, a variety of relations among these discourses, and fluidity of discourses across actors and roles, which lead the authors to question, at least in part, the presupposed artistic vs. business dualism within which cultural productions and creative industries are instead typically framed.

Abstract Cultural participation is associated with many benefits. Therefore, it is seen as an instrument to achieve social change and development. However, clear empirical proof for these claims is limited. There is a need for new frameworks and clear evaluation methods. This paper presents a conceptual framework that enables cultural organizations to understand the purposes of impact measurement. It also shows the steps cultural organizations can take to measure and manage their social impact. Consequently, it enables them to measure the impact on their beneficiaries while the lessons learned can help them to improve and manage their performance.

Abstract Increasing attention to cultural equity in the arts focuses on the power of the arts to address social inequity. Many also recognize that arts organizations must attend to these issues in their organizational practices in order to promote equity and disrupt historic power structures. Local Arts Agencies’ (LAAs) structural position as key regranters of federal and local funds makes them a key site of inquiry into the sector’s approach to cultural equity. This research asks: How is attention to individual social identity dimensions of cultural equity patterned in mission statements of LAAs? Of the 55 LAAs analyzed, 26 have a mission statement that includes attention to cultural equity, and of these, 17 list specific social identity groups to which they attend. Empirically, the article presents network visualizations and tabled co-occurrences of social identities toward the goal of understanding the clustering of social identity in the missions of LAAs. This study contributes to understanding how LAAs are considering identity-specific dimensions of equity in the missions of their organizations, trends in the patterning of these priorities, and identify the structural underpinnings of cultural equity in institutional priorities among LAAs in the United States.

Abstract During the Cold War period, the scope of the “culture” presented in public diplomacy was vastly broad, and not all genres of arts, culture, and education were valued with the same weight. For each area, the political environments were different, and the policy tools were differentiated, which demands reviewing them in cultural diplomacy separately. Visual art was a small yet controversial area of US cultural diplomacy in the early and mid-20th century, but art diplomacy during the Cold War is still commonly misunderstood as having been a centralized effort with substantial government funding. It impedes precise insight into the governmental and nongovernmental efforts in not only art diplomacy, but also general US cultural diplomacy. This research studies the decentralization of art diplomacy in the early and mid-20th century and examines the political environment toward art diplomacy and the policy tools, such as the third-party government in overcoming challenges. It investigates the political dynamics and characteristics of art diplomacy during the period and acknowledges the contribution and growth of nongovernmental actors in the field.

Abstract This article examines career building for visual artists, whereby a successful career is defined as exhibiting work, reaching a wide audience, and making a living by selling art. Using insights from management, marketing, entrepreneurship, and sociology, the authors develop a conceptual model for constructing a successful career, the Building Blocks of Artistic Careers model (BBAC). Pursuing such a career entails entrepreneurial and marketing skills, cultivation of relationships with art world gatekeepers, brand creation strategies, and reputation management. The article contributes to the literature of visual arts entrepreneurship, has implications for art school curricula, and raises issues for further research.
