"Rethinking Cultural Participation: A Framework for Change"
by Michael Moore, Arts Partners, Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund
Summary: "While arts organizations are skilled at devising
creative ways to pursue audience engagement, choosing the right strategy for the
right circumstances can be guesswork," writes Michael Moore, director of
the The Wallace Foundation's arts program. "What is needed is a framework
within which to understand the lessons of others and to design successful strategies
for any circumstance." The strategic framework for arts participation can
be helpful in clarifying your participation-building goals and the strategies
best suited for meeting them: strategies that are smart, effective and more likely
to produce sustainable results.
