GenAI and Creative Labor
Creative work has long been viewed as resistant to automation, grounded in human capacities for judgment, interpretation, and expression. The rapid diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) challenges this assumption by introducing tools capable of producing plausible creative outputs and destabilizing the boundary between assistance and substitution. This editorial introduces a special issue on AI and creative labor and advances a …
Connecting creative aging research with context and practice
This commentary on Adams-Price and Morse’s article “Creativity, aging, context and culture: Reimagining creativity in everyday life in older adults” emphasizes extensions on the topic of creative aging into social context, new analytic lenses, and connections to public practice and programming around creative aging. We suggest directions and data sets for future inquiry and reflect on broadening conceptions of creativity to expand past the art to…

U.S. public perceptions of artists during the Covid-19 pandemic
There is a lack of understanding about public opinions of artists in the United States, thereby impeding stakeholders' ability to empirically inform policy decisions and advocacy relevant to artists. Using novel, nationally representative survey data, this study provides insights on U.S. public opinion of artists during the first two years of the COVID pandemic. We find a decline in the percent of adults who engaged with artists in their local co…
Workers and Work in the Arts
In response to an era of transformation that deeply impacts workers and increased attention to worker collective action in the United States, this article documents some definitional and boundary challenges that constrain and facilitate unionization, collective action, and mutualism in arts and creative work. Arts workers are present across all strata of the labor market. Categories, such as art, commerce, craft, and entertainment, have often div…

American Perspectives on Public Funding for Artists
In light of recent attention on artists as community assets, what is current U.S. public opinion on public support for artists? After tracing the history of perceptions of public funding of artists in the U.S., we turn to the contemporary moment. Using 2017 and 2019 data from novel national surveys of adults, this study examines opinions about whether artists should receive public funding. Logistic regression results reveal that historic demograp…
A Networked Infrastructure of Cultural Equity? Social Identities in the Missions of Local Arts Agencies
Increasing attention to cultural equity in the arts focuses on the power of the arts to address social inequity. Many also recognize that arts organizations must attend to these issues in their organizational practices in order to promote equity and disrupt historic power structures. Local Arts Agencies’ (LAAs) structural position as key regranters of federal and local funds makes them a key site of inquiry into the sector’s approach to cultural …
Harmonizing Small-Group Cohesion and Status in Creative Collaborations
Because of economically induced changes in record label contracts, recording artists are now required to cowrite their songs. Despite this obligation, many recording artists are unskilled as writers. For their professional songwriter teammates, using face-work to save the recording artist from the embarrassment of being an unskilled songwriter can be at odds with status maintenance in the larger social community if the collaboration results in a …
Socializing Rejection and Failure in Artistic Occupational Communities
Failure is a normal aspect of work in creative industries; even highly successful artists are subject to rejection by critics, fans, and peers. It is known that organizations such as schools and workplaces are the primary space for job-related socialization, but artistic careers are characterized by nonstandard employment relations and do not generally require formal schooling. Without the bureaucratic structures typically used to socialize novic…

Public Perceptions of Artists in Communities
There is a growing recognition within the arts and cultural field that the public roles and work of artists are changing. Within the field, artists are increasingly lauded for their work as entrepreneurs, civically-minded problem-solvers, and agents for social change. Amid a shift away from the arts policy paradigm that has largely focused on nonprofit organizations over the last half-century within the United States, there is a hypothesis stemmi…
