New Urban Institute Study release - Cultural Vitality in Communities
"Cultural Vitality in Communities: Interpretation and Indicators" is a new monograph from the Urban Institute's Arts and Culture Indicators Project. Using existing and new data, the report offers a new definition of "cultural vitality" as "evidence of creating, disseminating, validating, and
supporting arts and culture as a dimension of everyday life in communities." It broadens "participation" to encompass festival making, amateur arts practice and public validation and discussion of cultural practices in many forms, including print, the Web and arts education (in-school and after-school). The analysis engages "a more diverse and powerful set of
stakeholders," including people who are not arts "experts" or professionals. The authors believe this wider view compels policymakers, funder and administrators to change the way they think about culture.
