Author:
Publications on arts-related amateur, hobbyist, some professional, and mixed-member associations and some agencies are reviewed. Their mission is to foster, present, and sometimes chronicle the art its members prize. Excluded from this review are the studies of art support organizations, formed to help fund an art, lobby government for support of it, drum up public interest, seek employment for its professionals, and the like. Also excluded are analyses of broad social and cultural effects of an arts association organization. The review covers works bearing on small arts clubs and societies, music associations and agencies (jazz ensembles, symphony orchestras, opera companies), dance associations and agencies, theater associations and agencies, graphic art associations (graffiti, painting, photography), writersâ and readersâ associations, and craft associations.
Robert A. Stebbins is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Sociology, University of Calgary. He received his PhD in 1964 from the University of Minnesota. He has written or edited over 55 books. Stebbins was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1999).
"Setting out a rich description of the constellation of actors, structures, and practices that involve such art associations, Stebbins discusses how they work and their goals and purposes across different geographies all over the world [...] In a changing world, this book highlights how people continue working together in their leisure time, experiencing happiness under the auspices of nonprofit art organizations, promoting arts and a set of open questions for future research in each of these social worlds." -Vera Borges in Voluntas (2020) 31: 1386-1387
