This definitive text explores the complex relationship between participation in the arts and participation in politics in America. It traces the American perspective on the arts through the evolution of democratic theory and the historical link with participation in the arts. The author suggests that the arts and humanities are essential for preserving the human elements of our society, and and for enriching the quality of human life. Democracy can be capable of fostering works of artistic excellence, as well as capable of creating broadbased audiences for such works. How the arts affect a political system is explored, along with the question of whether a political system can be beneficial or detrimental to the arts. This study provides a model for the creation of an American society in which the artistic community reinforces the skills of participation for a maximum number of citizens, helping to build a stronger participatory society.Democracy and the Arts gives a brief overview of specific theories of democracy and promotes discussion of the concepts of active and passive participation. The examination of the interrelationship of the arts and politics is demonstrated through three specific historical periods. Ancient Greece is seen as a pure example of a democratic political system where the arts flourished. The Jacksonian era is viewed as the purest American example of democracy, yet the performing arts did not flourish. The arts and politics in twentiethcentury America are analyzed. Political science and arts management students, as well as arts advocates, will find that this text provides a clear picture of participation in the arts and politics in America.
