Reviews
"Arts participation has long been treated past arts policymakers equally a black box with meters reading 'number of eyeballs' or 'number of derrieres in seats.' Engaging Art peeks inside the box, showing the complexity, multi-facetedness, and diverseness of forms that engaging with the arts takes in America today."—Larry Rothfield, Kinesthesia Director, Cultural Policy Center at the University of Chicago.

Katz, Director, Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies at the Woodrow Wilson, Princeton University
