ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the fairness of public support for the arts. It is widely claimed that public support for the arts is unfair and that the system requires thorough reexamination. A problem however it that even though the support system is viewed negatively by many, there is no clear definition of fairness in the public realm. This study argues that the issue of fairness may be differently understood depending upon a person’s position in relation to the support. For example, artists might harbor positive or negative opinions depending on their chances of receiving support. However, non-artists who work in the arts area as staff are more likely to have positive opinions because they have knowledge about the support system and its evaluation process. The survey reveals that recipients of public support in the arts evaluate the fairness of the support system differently, and attach different meanings to the support system. As a result, the study proposes that a differentiated approach is required in efforts to enhance fairness in public support for the arts, as there is a need to deal with each recipient group separately.
