Drawing on the perspectives of experts from diverse fields (including Princeton scholars Robert Wuthnow and Paul DiMaggio; Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice; 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, Engaging Art offers a new framework for understanding the momentous changes impacting Americas cultural life over the past fifty years.This 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 Americas signature nonprofit cultural institutions well into the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51934875681056,"sku":"NEW041596041X","price":301.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/engaging-art-the-next-great-transformation-of-americas-cultural-life-041596041x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
