Although the American state’s role and influence in cultural affairs expanded in the twentieth century, the degree to which the state actually drove these transformations both at home and abroad remains to be examined. What role did American corporations or philanthropies play in shaping emerging forms of cultural patronage? Did state or local programmes and policymakers push changes at the national or international level? And what impact did artistic participants have on developing or curtailing the institutionalisation of American art and culture? Answering such questions will offer an insight into cultural relations between private and state actors, which promises, in turn, to inform not only understandings of the institutional forms of modern American culture, but also to illuminate how individual and private actors have shaped the American state. This conference therefore calls upon scholars, policy-practitioners and artists working on and in modern American arts patronage, broadly defined, to submit proposals for papers that explore and critique the existing narrative.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- philanthropy and government cultural cooperation or conflict
- cultural funding, policy or exchange either at home or abroad
- the creation, implementation, and impact of cultural policymaking at the state or local levels
- how artists or academics experienced cultural policy or patronage
- cultural policy and protest or lack thereof
- philanthropy or philanthropic funding in the cultural sphere
- federal cultural programmes and agencies
- national or transnational public-private arts partnerships and programmes
