Case Study
Cartography of an Artistic and Cultural Landscape
Abstract
This project aimed to create a foundation for decision-making regarding measures and potential adjustments to the funding structures in Vorarlberg. This involved socio-economic indicators, descriptions of the artists’ living conditions, evaluations of funding structures and reception of art by the population. The empirical study comprised seven interviews with management personnel, 15 semi-structured interviews, three focus group interviews and one standardized online survey of artists as well as a survey of the population. The results suggest that the arts and culture scene plays a crucial role in society. Adequate funding is supported by the population and demanded by artists to offer (excellent) art to the (demanding) audience. The structure of funding landscape directly and indirectly impacts art production and thus the ability of a society to reflect on itself through mutual exchange.
