This is not the kind of report that you just read. It is designed for you, along with your peers in the classroom, group, club, neighborhood, commu-­ nity center, church, temple, mosque, book club, and social organization, to interact with it, argue with it, draw on it, and, most of all, have a conversa-­ tion exploring policy possibilities around the arts.

The moderator’s role is to guide the group through different possibilities.

Each “possibility” has a summary, questions to consider, explanation of the thinking behind the possibility, and ideas on how to implement it. The moderator should select a possibility, and then give participants a couple of minutes to read it. The moderator can begin the conversation by asking participants to answer the “Questions to Consider.” The rest of the conver-­ VDWLRQ FDQ ÁRZ IURP WKH JURXS·V WKRXJKWV DQG UHDFWLRQV WR GLIIHUHQW HOH-­ ments of each possibility.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music,â&#x20AC;? the poet-­president said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the enemy of totalitarianism.â&#x20AC;? nist oppression.

But even in the best of economic times, art for artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake may seem like a luxury that society can ill-­afford.

However, creativity and innovation will continue to serve as vital engines driving the future of the U.S. economy. Cultural diplomacy is much less costly than war. Today, it is more important than ever to explore public decisions being made about the arts. For more than a year, a diverse panel of citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including a graphic designer, sculptor, playwright, attorney, cura-­ tor, media scholar, poet, comedian, journalist, hip-­hop DUWLVW HFRQRPLVW PDQDJHPHQW FRQVXOWDQW Ă&#x20AC;OPPDNHU waitress, and arts administratorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;met in Washington, D.C., to explore issues around the arts that they ex-­ pect will need to be addressed by public policy in the future.

The panel thought broadly about what â&#x20AC;&#x153;the artsâ&#x20AC;? might be and explored a broad range of factors that might impact the role they play in society. It explored different concepts and visions of what the arts might be. Concerns spanned from edu-­ cation, technology and its impact on the arts, in-­ tellectual property, and global and local econo-­ mies. The group unpacked the various dimensions of the arts in society and looked at emerging concerns regarding how the arts might be created, taught, FRQVXPHG Ă&#x20AC;QDQFHG DQG GLVWULEXWHG )LQDOO\ WKH group developed seven possibilities to address these concerns.

We offer these possibilities to you not as prescriptions, but as a way to initiate discussions about the future of the arts in a democratic society.

THE FUTURE OF ARTS & SOCIETY :+< 5(0,; 7+( 38%/,& )$&( 2) $57" This possibility comes from a concern that with every passing year, more artists are trying to squeeze their work into increasingly limited public spac-­ es (museums, theaters, concert halls, and libraries). Emerging technolo-­

gy is generating ways to create and distribute more types of art and even more ways for us to interact with it. While society is evolving rapidly, too many of our ed-­ ucational and cultural institutions are still devoted to subsidizing and pro-­ moting “European classic” art forms and media that are decreasingly rel-­ evant to a diverse society. Traditional gate-­keeping systems are distorted by the personal biases and politics of a narrow segment of the population.

Bus stop of the future?

These conventional gate-­keeping mechanisms may lead to a limited and self-­perpetuating ideal. It would be more democratic to open up more ways for the public to interact with the arts. In response, this policy would continually expand boundaries DQG GHÀQLWLRQV RI ´DUWµ WR JLYH D SODW-­ form for artists who are creating the art of the future, artwork that moves beyond our current narrow conven-­ tions.

THE FUTURE OF ARTS & SOCIETY :+< 23(1 6285&( $57" This policy envisions new models for the ownership, distribution, and control of artistic creations that look beyond the Industrial Age notions of “intellectu-­ al property.” Traditionally, intellectual property and copyright laws were tools for artists to protect their ability to make a living using their work. Increasing-­ ly, intellectual property policy has been used to lock up creative work and to exert strict control over certain elements of them. Since the Industrial

Age, technological changes have made it easier to share and remix creative works, while making it harder to determine own-­ ership and enforce these laws when violations happen. Artistic creation isn’t the product of an assembly line. It is about developing an indi-­ vidual voice that transforms and remixes what has come before.

This policy approach recognizes the remix nature of all creative artwork. It is impossible to create something purely “new” and without relation to what has come before. Ideas are constantly refor-­ matted. There is no end or beginning of an idea. Re-­editing, even the erasure of history, is not new. Jazz music, for example, is a cumula-­ tive tradition where artists learn the standards well enough to make them their own then build upon them in improvisation.

THE   FUTURE  OF  ARTS  &  SOCIETY :+< $57 +8576" Who decides where the line is drawn between free expression and avoid-­ ing harm? What happens when artistic content does harm to society? What happens when art targets in a nega-­ tive way groups that have less power in society? What if, for example, artistic expression is used to exploit children and women, or denigrates people for their ethnicity or sexual orientation?

Art is typically protected as free speech. And often the goal of art is to provoke, push buttons, LQà DPH DQG DQJHU Critical dia-­

logue is the goal. This utility must be protected. However, artistic expression can help drive, shape, or normalize certain views and practices that soci-­ HW\ Ă&#x20AC;QGV XQDFFHSWDEOH 6RPH DUWLVWV through their popularity, have a sort of bully pulpit.

THE FUTURE OF ARTS & SOCIETY :+< 6&+22/6 2) $57" Art doesn’t only happen inside studio or museum walls. It doesn’t just happen during art class. It also happens in the research lab and the workplace. Art is

part of a continuum of learning and is malleable and applica-­ ble to other aspects of life.

However, with the rise of standardized testing and a focus on the “basics,” math and science especially, the arts are increasingly marginalize to most educational curricula. But it is increas-­ ingly clear that a vital and competitive economy requires creative thinkers.

Even in the so-­called STEM disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, advances often come not from following predetermined pro-­ cesses but by breaking new ground.

The ability to do that is something that students of all ages gain through ac-­ cess to the arts and arts education.

The goal is not to train everyone to be-­ come “artists,” but to help the public explore, discover, and bring to life new ideas in all areas of school and work.

The policy would infuse art and art education in publicly owned buildings, libraries, community centers, and gov-­ ernment buildings to foster this sense of creativity for young and old.

Society can thus counteract a long his-­ WRU\ RI H[FOXVLYLW\ LQ WKH ÀQH DUWV E\ SXW-­ ting it in a variety of public spaces.

THE FUTURE OF ARTS & SOCIETY :+< 35,9$7,=( ,7" For this policy possibility, it is essential to keep art free from public interfer-­ ence. The government often tries to exert control over artistic creations by the power of the purse. By removing public funding from the equation, art can be freed from governmental intervention. Whenever there is public support for the arts, the discussion over what is “good” becomes political, because everyone feels entitled to their opinion. Private philanthropy has been the foundation for supporting the arts for centuries. Angel inves-­

tors, wealthy benefactors, or venture capitalist projects often seed innovative work. Corporate philanthropy is good for soci-­ ety and can help companies get access to new and foreign markets. Private sources could step in for maintenance, or preservation of public assets such as museums, theaters, and schools.
