This article examines the impacts of COVID-19 on the digital work of museums and galleries in the UK, 2020 – 2021. Focusing on social media activity, we explore two questions: (1) How did approaches to, and institutional perceptions of, social media shift during the pandemic? and (2) Looking to the future, what practical and theoretical challenges do social media present for museums and galleries, and what are the related policy implications? The discussion draws on a mixed-methods study including an analysis of 9000 tweets, and re fl ective semi-structured interviews with 19 digital workers. Our fi ndings can help shape global digital heritage practices as we emerge from the pandemic, enabling more dynamic and meaningful forms of cultural participation, and underpinning more con fi dent and ethical social media trajectories. to

This analysis of the plight of visual artists during Covid-19 illuminates the working conditions of a chronically under-examined sub-section of cultural labour. It demonstrates the severity of pandemic impacts on visual artists’ social and economic circumstances, including inappropriate criteria for accessing government and Arts Council England emergency measures. A central concern is a consideration of how arts policies might better acknowledge and account in future arts infrastructures for the distinctive, diverse social contributions of this workforce element. The commentary reveals a stark contrast between ambitions at national and local levels about what artists and the arts are for, and where and how arts policy should be made and implemented. It evidences an emerging grassroots appetite for a dramatic shift from current hierarchical patterns driven by national imperatives to nuanced, localized infrastructures that can ensure artists’ multiple talents and assets contribute fully to social and economic change for the better within communities.

In recent years, there have been many voices in Korea arguing that a few commercially successful fi lms take up the opportunities for the exhibition of other fi lms and thus limit the selection of titles available for moviegoers, a trend dubbed the “ screen monopoly ” . In seeking a solution, a number of scholars have looked to the anti-screen monopoly “ regulations ” in France, but without providing rigorous or persuasive evidence. By comparing the appropriate variables of Korea and France, this paper argues that the Korean fi lm market is less monopolised than France despite the non-existence of these regulations. Furthermore, it demonstrates that Korea has more diversity than France. As a result, this paper concludes that introducing the French anti-screen monopoly regulations in Korea does not seem a bene fi cial option. The fi ndings in this paper suggest a strong need to re-examine the e ff ectiveness of government policies in the cultural industry.

ABSTRACT Artist in residence in government (AIRG) programs that embed artists within civic work are becoming increasingly popular across the United States. As governments are challenged to shift systems to be more equitable, repair infrastructure and prepare for future crises, cross-sectoral collaboration models offer new ways of working. Cross-sectoral collaboration that embeds artists in non-arts sectors spurs civic innovation and shifts contexts to inspire new ideas and opportunities. This article builds a guiding framework of the characteristics and considerations that shape AIRG programs in order to present possible pathways that can be followed in program development and implementation. Foundationally, each AIRG is unique and responsive to the specific underlying social, political, economic, environmental and cultural preconditions of place. The guiding framework details preconditions, program design and partners, and program structure, followed by an analysis of the challenges and opportunities. Research was conducted on AIRG programs operating in 2020 and 2021.

ABSTRACT Studies of digital platforms have critically examined the exploitation and low paid condition of creative labour in cultural industries. This study aims to empirically explore the motivation behind why producers/consumers, key opinion leaders, or wanghong are still devoted to producing and posting videos on the short video platform Douyin, which is the Chinese version of Tik Tok, despite the precarious condition. Leveraging on Bourdieu’s concept of cultural capitals and the interchangeability of capitals, this paper argues that Douyin provides the possibility for different wanghong to pursue their own intended capitals, which are not just economic capital, but also social, symbolic, and cultural capital. Under a relatively close environment of China, the flexibility and interchangeability of capital gain have at least become an alternative for these wanghong to explore their creativity and fulfil their desires.

ABSTRACT The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) implements creative placemaking (CPM) policy by forging and coordinating a broad-based national policy network. This article visualizes and analyzes the national CPM policy network based on hyperlinks on the policy actors’ websites. By unpacking the roles, resources, and affected interests of policy actors and their relationships with each other in the policy network, this article finds that the NEA exercises institutional entrepreneurship through CPM policy with four governance strategies: (1) seek legitimacy by re-activating federal interagency relations; (2) reorient and expand arts constituencies through existing governance infrastructure and new brokers; (3) develop discursive strategy and advance policy implementation through consulting and research organizations, and (4) diversify financial support by reaching out to banks and foundations. In the entrepreneurial process, the NEA also develops a mutually reinforcing mechanism of public value, financial stability, and artistic vitality with the governance strategies.
