The Book
Philanthropy in the Arts
A Game of Give and Take
by Leslie Ramos
Arts philanthropy is at a crucial moment: many arts organisations are facing a financial crisis, the 2020-21 Covid-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of existing funding structures, and various social initiatives and causes have thrown renewed focus on how the arts are funded.
Around the world, a new generation of philanthropists is emerging with different motivations and priorities. This book offers an open and wide-ranging exploration of philanthropy in the arts from the perspectives of both the donors and the recipients.
Praise
“This book is a much needed roadmap for the evolving arts-funding landscape and is essential for anyone who believes in art's potential as a catalyst for a better world.”
“A must-read for museum professionals, this book is an engaging and enlightening journey through the nuanced world of arts philanthropy.”
“As expected from Lund Humphries' Hot Topics in the Art World series, Leslie Ramos' Philanthropy in the Arts: A Game of Give and Take is an insightful, analytical overview of arts philanthropy, looking at both giving and taking at the arts organisation level.”
