Arts Management Quarterly
No 136: Serving Communities
In times of the pandemic, many arts and cultural institutions and professionals may find it difficult to think of others first. This issue of Arts Management Quarterly shows that it can be extraordinarily rewarding for them to commit themselves to serving local communities, now and in the long term.
There are many reasons for arts and cultural organizations to turn some attention away from global visitors and towards local communities, and many of these reasons were amplified by the pandemic. But this does not have to be a disadvantage - quite the opposite! Resident communities can become returning audiences, multipliers, and partners for long-term cooperation. Anyway, addressing them is not that simple because their needs and issues must be at the center, and arts and cultural institutions have to perceive themselves as servants rather than providers. The examples in this issue cover different cultural sectors and world regions and can be an inspiration, a manual and motivation for action for all those arts and cultural managers struggling with the (post) COVID world.
