Art

Art spans visual culture, film, music, design and the objects people make and collect. It includes creative work and the institutions that preserve and present it, as well as the people, businesses and public funding that shape what audiences can see.

About this topic

These stories matter because art can entertain, challenge how history is told and give communities a shared point of reference. Questions of access, preservation and ownership affect whether cultural works endure and who gets to experience them.
