In this episode, we consider art museums as venues for human flourishing, as tracked by NEA-supported researchers at the University of Pennsylvania. The source article is here. A transcript of this podcast is available at the NEA website.
By Any Measure
No art unconsidered
Sunil:
Congratulations on supporting this work on the positive impacts of the arts. Seems like the NEA mission statement might change to: “We’re in the Human Fluorishing business”. I am wondering if there might be some standardized questions that arts organizations (performing and visual) could begin asking their audiences?
I also wanted to congratulate you on the reference to ‘accentuate the positive’. You’re much too young to remember that song.
Thanks, Jerry! I’m not sure if we’re up to “standardized” questions yet–though it remains a worthy goal, and one that should be advanced by more research of this type.
