Summary:

A vital book on a vital topic, The cultural Connection discusses the importance of the arts in Canada's national life, assess government spending on the arts and calls for a consistent cultural policy that ensures artistic freedom. Viewing the arts as crucial to the process of national self-definition, Bernard Ostry probes the past, present and future of the relationship between the arts and government in Canada. In doing so, he gives the first inside history of the Massey Report, from its origins to its culmination in the Canada Council. Mr. Ostry also examines our collective attitudes towards the arts, especially as they reflect on such questions as freedom, independence and pluralism. He describes existing practices, federal and provincial, and offers guidelines for the future, suggesting a number of approaches to such problems as policy development, research and analysis, and co-operative actions" - Publisher.
