The Center for Arts and Culture, America's first independent think tank for
arts and culture, announces it's Calling the Question program: "E-Culture?".
Free and open to the public, the program will be on Tuesday, April 11, 2000
from 3:30 to 5:00pm in the National Building Museum auditorium, 401 F Street
NW, Washington, DC 20001. A reception following the program will also have
available for sale copies of the Center's new book, The Politics of Culture:
Policy Perspecitves for Individuals, Institutions and Communities. Please
call (202) 783-5277 to reserve, seating is limited.
Should culture play by the same rules as commerce in the on-line world? The
commercial promise of the new information technology is now commonplace.
What are the implications for culture, in both for-profit and non-profit
sectors? In an on-line environment dominated by market forces, are
different rates, rules, and responsibilities necessary when culture
is involved?
To discuss these questions, join:
Moderator Michael Shapiro, General Counsel, International Intellectual
Property Institute;
Donald Druker, Program Officer, Technology Opportunities Program, National
Telecommunications and Information Administration, U.S.Department of
Commerce;
David Eisner, Vice President, America Online Foundation;
William Gilcher, Director of Media Projects, U.S. and Canada,
Goethe-Institut, Washington, D.C.;
David Green, Executive Director, National Initiative for a Networked
Cultural Heritage.
In the Washington Post on February 29, 2000, Richard Morin and Claudia Deane
noted that the Center's new book "will get Washington to think as seriously
about the nation's cultural life as it does about Bosnia or tax policy."
Available from The New Press, The Politics of Culture features fresh
research and thought-provoking commentary, providing a compelling outline
for the future of American public policy as it intersects with arts and
culture.
