Product description

Review

“A book ambitious cultural bureaucrats keep on their bedside table. They all seem to be able to quote it.” (Telegraph-Journal)

“[Brault]’s demonstration that the arts in times of economic downturn can actually stimulate the economy, rather than be a drain on it, is fascinating.” (Telegraph-Journal)

“Simon Brault is one of Canada’s more ardent cultural warriors.” (National Post)

“An important work and essential reading for those looking to better understand the vital role that arts and culture currently play here in Canada and the part that they will need to play in the years to come.” (The Chronicle Herald)

“If the arts and culture need advocates, there is no more tireless one than Simon Brault.” (Literary Review of Canada)

“The most important 158 pages you will ever read.” (Reading Art)

“Economics play a major role in convincing people of the importance of arts, and Brault recognizes this. But he’s not an advocate for simply using economics as the only means of judging culture’s worth. It has a fundamental creativity and emotional response that can’t be measured, or forgotten.” (FFWD Weekly FFWD Weekly FFWD Weekly)

“Brault’s blueprint should inspire all cultural and civic leaders to be vocal and actively engaged in that future, understanding the power of art to transform.” (Winnipeg Free Press)
