Focuses on the role of media as both a complement to and a substitute for live attendance at arts events between 1982 and 1992. Detailed demographic and other analysis describe participation via radio, television (including videocassettes), and recordings for seven "benchmark arts", -- opera, classical music, jazz, dance, musical theater and operetta, theater (plays), and visual arts. More than 70 tables and charts as well as a bibliography enhance this definitive reference.

This is the first book to cover not only the economics of the fine arts and performing arts in the United States but also public policy toward the arts at federal, state, and local levels. The book will interest academic readers seeking a core text on the economics of the arts and arts management as well as those seeking a systematic analysis of the arts in America. Theoretical concepts are developed from scratch so that readers with little background in economics can follow the arguments. The authors look at the arts' historical growth and then examine consumption and production, the functioning and financial problems of arts markets, the financial problems of performing arts companies and museums, and the key role of public policy. A final chapter speculates about the future of art and culture in the United States.
