This article focuses on film quality—evaluated by audiences and critics—and scrutinizes this assumption through four selected countries—France, Korea, UK, and US. The main findings of this article are summarized through two points. First, despite the Korean film industry receiving the lowest level of public support, its film quality is higher than that of other selected countries. Second, the impact of subsidies on film quality turns out to be positive for the French, UK, and US films while it is negative or nil for Korean films. Although these results reflect partly differences in the background of each film industry and its public support in the four countries, they suggest that the effectiveness of subsidies and enhancement of film quality can be best achieved by better designing the subsidy schemes—not by increasing their amount.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42309278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As noted by Yuha Jung, museum professionals are increasingly interested in valuing “networks and people-centered approaches rather The framing of the book is that while markets in the art world are often associated with nihilistic capitalistic ideals like profit and price, arts managers and artists can use the term to understand how they can find value in sustaining creative careers. Whitaker then leads the reader on a journey through the fundamentals of the economics of art where the reader learns useful tools for managing the art market. Chapters One through Three introduce the classical economic concepts of Markets, Cost, and Price to give the reader an overall economic structure to work within. The next three chapters cover Failure, Structure, and Power to show how, within this structure, there are variables that can affect how price and value can be (mis)aligned and how arts managers and artists can think about realignment. Chapters Seven through Nine cover branches of economics that pertain to the art market, including Labor, Property, and Investments. The concluding chapter brings this all into perspective, Whitaker’s perspective, that both art and economics are subjective and creative, and in that way, they can work together. We can not only bring “economics to art” but we can also bring “art to economics.” In doing so, we can reimagine systems for how the art market can work, but only with a fundamental understanding of economics. The book starts off with appeasing the nerves of artists and arts managers who think they’re not good at math by making complicated economic topics comprehensible through simple descriptions and delightful applications to the arts world. The book transforms the artist or arts manager reader by giving them the comfort and ability to stroll through topics like marginal cost, price elasticity, and externalities. Near the end of the book, the reader has the chance to apply what they’ve learned to pertinent issues in the arts dealing with ownership, work conditions, and valuation. The conclusion retransforms the reader from thinking like an economist to using creativity to reimagine systems in the arts world, now with an underpinning of how to create value with economic tools. The book is a journey that any student of arts administration, arts manager, artist, or anyone with an interest in the visual arts market will find satisfying, and at the end, surprising that something that seems as hard as economics is not that hard at all.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42498301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the global struggle for liberation, art and social justice practices must be contextualized, requiring approaches and pedagogy that address the cultural landscapes in which they are rooted. Against this backdrop, the artivist-authors explore two questions: 1) In what ways do practices in the arts and social justice differ and intersect across cultural contexts? and 2) What lessons can be gleaned from grassroots and systems-level approaches to arts for social justice? Here, three vignettes, explored through Chicane testimonios and story circles rooted in Black and Indigenous theater practice, elucidate approaches to building creative justice in the landwaters colonized into Colombia, Rwanda, and the United States. Across these three vignettes, questions of practice and lessons learned emerge.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46306423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this article is to estimate how much accounting data of American artist-endowed foundations give evidence of their connections through art-keting with multiple stakeholders in order to support creativity, above all, fashion. Art-keting includes several and complex phenomena, from co-marketing to contaminations and hybridizations. It encompasses both relationship marketing and social media communication. The methodology includes the analysis of economic performance as for data in 990 Forms and a multiple regression analysis of 2016’s accounting main lines of a sample of the biggest US artists-endowed foundations.

Entrepreneurship programs explore innovation and the creation of new business ventures. Arts Entrepreneurship is an emerging discipline centered on the unique needs related to launching and running creative practices in the fields of visual arts, performing arts, and design. Arts Entrepreneurship educators are preparing students for creative careers in the arts and cultural industries, be it as an art or design practitioner, or in a field working with or supporting artists and designers. Arts Entrepreneurship as a discipline is still being defined as researchers and educators seek to understand how to best prepare students for professional lives in the creative sector. The new Routledge publication The New Arts Entrepreneur, Navigating the Arts Ecologies (2022) by Gary D. Beckman presents a novel approach to combining elements of business, entrepreneurship and arts pedagogy while centering on the unique needs of artists and designers. In the introduction the author states that “Most established disciplines possess a codified curriculum of some sort” yet, “Serious discussions in our field [arts entrepreneurship] concerning a codified curriculum have not occurred” (p. 2). Arts Entrepreneurship educators are constantly searching for theoretical and experiential approaches that meet the needs of their programs. Since there are not established parameters for an Arts Entrepreneurship curriculum, faculty are often left to extract theoretical and experiential elements from business and entrepreneurship programs and adadpt them to their Arts Entrepreneurship courses with inconsistent results. Despite the rise in arts administration degrees and other attempts to bridge the business and art communities, Järvinen found a continuing reluctance among arts organizations to identify with business terminology or tap into business strategies. He acknowledges that the arts are not a traditional market, for example, the cost of creative labor generally increases while potential audiences for live performance are often fixed by a venue’s capacity, and there is an expectation that artists will lead, rather than follow, public demand. However, this is not an excuse to ignore strategic management. As Järvinen points out, an organization’s failure to identify their business model does not indicate that the organization does not have a business model, but rather that they have failed to articulate or capitalize on it (51), which can leave them vulnerable.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48596751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
