Entering Cultural Communities: Diversity and Change in the Nonprofit Arts
Arts organizations once sought patrons primarily from among the wealthy and well educated, but for many decades now they have revised their goals as they seek to broaden their audiences. Today, museums, orchestras, dance companies, theaters, and community cultural centers try to involve a variety of people in the arts. They strive to attract a more racially and ethnically diverse group of people, those from a broader range of economic backgrounds, new immigrants, families, and youth.
The chapters in this book draw on interviews with leaders, staff, volunteers, and audience members from eighty-five nonprofit cultural organizations to explore how they are trying to increase participation and the extent to which they have been successful.
The organizations discussed include large, medium, and small nonprofits located in urban, suburban, and rural areas-from large institutions, to many cultural organizations that are smaller, but often known nationally for their innovative work.
