- The debate over the value and impact of arts and #culture has occupied some of the world’s greatest minds.
Now a comprehensive new #report brings a fresh perspective to the issue.
The ‘Understanding the value of arts and culture’ report represents the culmination of the AHRC’s three-year Cultural Value Project.
Involving 70 original pieces of research, the project provides the most in-depth attempt to understand the difference made by arts and culture.
So what has the project discovered?
To fully appreciate the impact of arts and culture on our economy, on our communities and cities or on our health we must start with understanding individual experience.
Because so many of the societal benefits to be gained through arts and culture flow from the benefits experienced by individuals - in the way it affects us, how we see ourselves and each other, and the contribution we go on to make.
To this end, the Cultural Value Project broadens the scope of the traditional debate beyond subsidised cultural sectors, to include cultural experiences through the commercial sector as well as amateur and participatory arts because this is how most of us engage.
The report sheds new light on neglected areas where research shows arts and culture make a difference, such as prompting personal reflectiveness and empathy, enabling engaged citizens and thriving communities, and the imagination and creativity that underpins innovation.
This new perspective quickly gives rise to the need for a wider and more subtle toolbox of methodologies to talk about - and evaluate - the concept of cultural value:
1. More effective use of evaluation - not just for satisfying funders but for cultural organisations understand the responses of their audiences.
2. A broader range of methodologies that value qualitative methods as much as quantitative ones, drawing more on methods that come from the arts and humanities.
3. Further development of the project’s economic evaluation methodologies - which are already being used by the Treasury
We also need a better understanding of the ways in which digital engagement is affecting people’s experience, both the way we consume and the way we’re creative.
The cultural and #creativeindustries are growing, and the way we access culture is changing at a rapid pace. Academics, researchers - and the whole cultural sector - must work together to ensure we are, not only ready for that expansion, but can support and sustain it.

Hi guys! As a creative and a designer with great interest to sociology and anthropology and philosophy, I've always wanted to delve deeper into this direction of academic research. Can anyone suggest a particular field of study or academic disciple or experts that deals with the topics of the above video and and science of having art an culture? I've started reading 'The Design Way' and got a copy of Dissanayake's 'Homo Aestheticus', also found Zizeks theories of ideology and media in both of his "The Perverts Guide to... " quite relevant of how art reflects and affects cultural and social zeitgeist, but beyond that I do not have a lot to work with.
Hi! Are you looking for an undergraduate or postgraduate degree? You would deal with the cultural value theories on most of the arts-related courses either BA or MA including arts management, music business, theatre studies etc. if you are looking for more theoretical courses then try history of arts or cultural policy studies. I am currently doing PhD in Cultural Policy and I read this whole report as a part of my research. I write about the cultural value and evaluation methods in relation to cultural diplomacy and international cultural relations. I also teach on BA Music Business and Arts Management course and we discuss the concept of the value of arts a lot.
nice vid keep up the great work
Nice
I did learn nothing about culture and the skin of people in the scripture. Ethics do not have many things that scripture has.
In the scripture, Everything is not happy. Nazi is a name invented by psychopaths so if people called themselves the sasquatches, adjectives do not actually distract God. Culture is a human concept invented by humans. Culture is something nice to talk about. There are not happy subjects in criminology but there are more not happy things not including criminology. There are subjects that I do not like to think about and remember.
