“…A subsequent study on the Royal Theatre in Newcastle (Grisolía & Willis, 2016) justified public support for the Royal Shakespeare Company and showed significant differences in peoples' WTP for different types of play, with drama being the most valuable. The study by Wiśniewska and Czajkowski (2017) supported an increase in the provision of discounted theatre tickets (a quasi-public good), particularly in venues that specialised in experimental, children's and drama performances. The authors noted that the passive-use values of theatre recognised by the Society of Warsaw could be a reason for the difference between theatregoers' preferences for subsidy distribution and audience ticketbuying behaviour.…”

“…The adaptation of a known piece is also used as a separate, however insignificant, binary variable in the study of the demand for Flemish theatre (Werck & Heyndels, 2007). The last SP-based valuation in performing arts (Wiśniewska & Czajkowski, 2017) developed a simple division into comedy and tragedy ("entertainment" and "drama", respectively) with two categories: "children's" and "experimental", all categories being statistically significant determinants of the WTP for the broader accessibility of theatres in Warsaw, Poland, when included in the hypothetical programme of performances' supply. The division into four categories is rooted in the local context.…”

AbstractEvidence-based policies require well-established research and reliable data. One of the major difficulties in delivering such data for cultural policies lies in measuring culture, expressing its ephemeral nature in numbers and indicators, as research used to do in other sectors. Stated-preference based non-market valuation is one of the few tools able to reveal the benefits that cultural goods deliver to the society for cost–benefit analysis. The prevalent problem in this kind of studies is poorly defined, ambiguous goods. When attempting to define them, we cannot forget that the essence of art and culture, which is in itself worth measuring, is quality. The goal of the article was to review previous uses of quality measurements of arts and culture in stated-preference based non-market valuation research, most of which are dedicated to performing arts and cultural heritage.

“…Only a few articles examining the non-market value of theatres have been published so far, most of which use stated preference techniques (Bille Hansen 1997; Grisolía and Willis 2011;Willis and Snowball 2009;Wiśniewska and Czajkowski 2017). Revealed preference data and the travel cost technique were employed in two articles: Forrest et al (2000) applied a ZTCM to the audience data of the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, UK, that had been collected on-site over the course of a week.…”

Cultural institutions are the main beneficiaries of public funds for culture. However, cultural policies suffer from 'adhocism' in the administration of institutions, which are often publicly owned and receive little recognition of the benefits that society gains from their use. The aim of this study is to provide the measurement of the use value of access to cultural institutions. Based on the observed individual attendances and their costs, a two-stage budgeting model is employed to estimate the change in consumer surplus related to the loss of access to cinemas, museums, and theatres in Warsaw, Poland. It is the first non-market valuation of cinemas in the existing literature. The inclusion of institutions' entire markets helps to overcome the bias caused by the embedding effect and the availability of substitutes, which affects many single-site valuations. The estimated use values are compared with the subsidies received by the three groups of cultural institutions. Results reveal substantial benefits provided by cinemas, although cinemas are nearly excluded from the circulation of public support. The estimated use value is enough to justify subsidies for both highly subsidised sectors of museums and theatres. The estimation of use values serves as a starting point for the evaluation of the use of public resources.

“…Culture education means every type of teaching activity that has a concept of culture and the arts, which involves literature, formative art, performing art, traditional art, cultural heritage, cultural industry, and living culture, or utilizes them in curriculums (Cho 2011). In another respect, culture education is defined as a course of discovering human existence by experiencing activity, realizing the self through culture, and understanding one's own present beyond the level of teaching and expansion of knowledge and experiences on the basis of culture and the arts (Wiśniewska and Czajkowski 2017).…”

Today, intellectual education based on the various experiences and emotions of citizens through culture and art education draws attention in terms of obtaining improvements in social welfare. Citizens can become further aware of culture and art and get a wider range of benefits in cultural welfare. Culture and art education are important activities of cultural welfare. This study examines some of the successes of the Seoul Arts Center academy, which represents and hosts diverse cultural and art activities in South Korea. These activities have led to successful promotion of culture and art education for Seoul citizens. Based on Lewin’s change management process model, the cases that were analyzed focus on the change in culture and art education in the Seoul Arts Center academy. Findings from this study indicate the contribution to the improvement in cultural welfare for citizens from their engagement in activities within art education and culture. The discussion also highlights that good management of the changes in educational activity with the citizens’ needs and improvements in the maturity of civil society were critical factors for educational sustainability and success.
