Summary:

This timely and impressive book gives contemporary academic and multidisciplinary insights into the complex topic of funding and financing of art and culture, with contributions from 21 leading scholars in the field. Trine Bille, Professor of Cultural Economics, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark This timely collection of essays by a number of distinguished contributors will fill a significant gap in the cultural economics literature. Professor David Throsby, Distinguished Professor of Economics, Macquarie Business School, Macquarie University, Australia Cultural Funding and Financing is a timely and ambitious volume that offers one of the most comprehensive examinations to date of how artists and cultural organizations access resources in a rapidly evolving landscape. Joanna Woronkowicz, Associate Professor, O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, US This edited open access volume offers a comprehensive analysis of new and traditional funding models for the arts and culture. In the economic and political contexts of reduced art funding, the book takes an objective, pragmatic and heterodox approach to demonstrate how financial sustainability in the arts can be achieved via a range of top-down and bottom-up mechanisms which are valued either in terms of institutional or crowd-based legitimacy. The book aims to offer both a scholarly interpretation of funding and financing practices, as well as guidance for artists, creators, and cultural programmers. Carolina Dalla Chiesa is an Assistant Professor of Cultural Economics at the Department of Arts and Culture, Erasmus University, The Netherlands. Anders Rykkja is a Lecturer in Arts and Cultural Industries Management at Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland.
