Summary

Response to ‘Arts for All’.

Details

Originally published in the October 1985 edition of Arts Express, Owen Kelly wrote this in response to Roy Shaw’s essay on ‘Arts for All’. Shaw, a former General Secretary of the then Arts Council of Great Britain, argued for the ‘democratisation of culture’. Kelly argues that debate lies with an alternative idea, and this article became a rallying call for many community artists of the time.
