Motivation, Symbolic Meaning, and Social Impact

This essay expands on the defining characteristics of the arts and culture sector by considering not only the product but also the producer, the artist—the individuals or teams of creative people who make art—and their mirror and sometimes unwitting collaborator, the audience. Concepts of symbolic meaning, identity, arts economies, and impact evaluation are illustrated by both existing literature and case study examples.
