Democratizing Culture will look at the initiatives by French cultural institutions to democratize culture and make their offerings more accessible to everyone. In recent years, major French cultural institutions have tried to engineer ways to attract a more socio-economically diverse audience to their halls, galleries, and venues. Encouraged by the Ministry of Culture, new projects have emerged in the world of theater, music, the opera, and museums. During spring break, we will travel to France to have a first-hand experience and assessment of these cultural policies and meet with government officials and arts institutions’ directors.
