“…This is not necessarily a shortcoming, since also the presence of art teachers (be it in music or visual arts) serves as a proxy for creative activity. In places with more art teachers, more artists are educated and a higher population of artists can be expected, which in consequence leads to greater artistic activity and creativity (Ateca-Amestoy et al, 2017). The possible overrepresentation of teachers is nonetheless addressed econometrically in the results section, where we also control for the geographic spread of teachers.…”

This research illuminates the historical development and clustering of creative activity in the United States. Census data is used to identify creative occupations (i.e., artists, musicians, authors, actors) and data on prominent creatives, as listed in a comprehensive biographical compendium. The analysis first sheds light on the socio-economic background of creative people and how it has changed since 1850. The results indicate that the proportion of female creatives is relatively high, time constraints can be a hindrance for taking up a creative occupation, racial inequality is present and tends to change only slowly, and access to financial resources within a family facilitates the uptake of an artistic occupation. Second, the study systematically documents and quantifies the geography of creative clusters in the United States and explains how these have evolved over time and across creative domains.

“…It is therefore interesting to find out the factors determining that an individual participates or does not participate [22]. In Spain, there is some research on cultural consumption; the most relevant ones are the National Statistical Plan (2002)(2003) and the cultural habits and practices survey organised by the SGAE and the Ministry of Culture, with various editions [5].…”

Cultural Sustainability in University Students’ Flamenco Music Event Attendance: A Neural Networks Approach

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

University students consume live music; however, almost 40% declare that they have never attended a flamenco show, an intangible heritage of humankind. Numerous studies have shown that cultural capital and socioeconomic profile, among other factors, are variables that influence cultural consumption, and therefore, cultural sustainability. Considering the relationship between several variables, this paper pursues a double objective. On the one hand, identifying the factors that influence attendance at flamenco shows, and on the other, proposing a predictive model that quantifies the likelihood of an individual attending a flamenco show. To this end, we analyse flamenco consumption by means of a survey conducted on 452 university students, using Multilayer Perceptrom (a non-parametric model), a methodology based on an artificial neural network. Our results confirm the importance of cultural capital, as well as personal and external factors, among other. The findings of this research work are of potential interest for management and planning of cultural events, as well as to promote cultural sustainability.

“…As Lang (2015) showed in an explorative study, the greatest degree of cultural participation can be achieved when cultural management includes interacting at the interfaces of artistic and cultural production, creating participatory spaces, mediating between hegemonic and alternative attributions of cultural meaning, and identifying a polyphonic discourse as their central goal of action (Lang, 2015, p. 182). Additionally, cultural participation varies depending on specific cultural offers, a particular region or state and the intended audiences (Ateca-Amestoy et al, 2017;Piber, 2020). Not least, participation in analogue live settings (Robinson, 2015) has to be distinguished from participation within the context of digital network media (e.g.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to illuminate the relations of work-related practices of local managers of live music events in Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) and barriers and needs of vulnerable customers (VC) in order to explore possibilities to increase cultural participation of VC.Design/methodology/approachThis article explores work-related practices of managers of live music events in OWL and asks if and to what extent these practices have an influence on the cultural participation of “vulnerable customers” (VC). It combines the findings of two studies: a) an explorative investigation on the work-related self-conceptions of managers of live music events in OWL (Study 1), and b) a sub-project on cultural participation of VC, which is part of the research project “kulturPreis. Increasing cultural participation through innovative and economically sustainable pricing concepts”, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Study 2).FindingsIt can be stated that there is an imbalance of knowledge: while VC tend to have a clear understanding of which barriers are the responsibility of managers of live music events, managers tend to lack knowledge regarding the needs of VC, and regarding the interrelationships between financial and social barriers facing them. Whether this knowledge and understanding can be developed in the future depends on the possibilities of exchanges between managers of live music events, cultural institutions, welfare organisations, political institutions and not least VC.Originality/valueBased on these studies, this article combines different approaches by linking work-related practices of managers of live music events with cultural participation of VC.
