(More customer reviews)ARTISTIC CITIZENSHIP: A PUBLIC VOICE FOR THE ARTS is for arts educators and professionals who want to know how to participate in civic life. Essays come from the Tisch School of Arts, from artists and scholars who explore how art and the everyday world interact, and the meaning of art in public places and everyday lives. From the unique, relatively modern idea of the individual artist apart from community to the uses of satire, this embraces all kinds of concepts and ideas. ARTISTIC CITIZENSHIP is particularly recommended for art school faculty, students, and community artists wanting to influence local, state and even national governmental agencies to support the arts.
