Samenvatting
A 'Right to Art' is enshrined, simply and straightforwardly, in the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But what does it mean in the contemporary world? Can we still talk about 'rights' in this way, and if we can, how is 'the right to art' dealt with in policy and in practice? In particular, how can we raise the appreciation and status of visual art in contemporary society in order to give greater meaning to such a universal right? Authors argue that as a signatory to the UN Declaration the British government has a responsibility to make this aspiration a reality.
