'Art Works' – Cultural Labour Markets: A Literature Review

The Creativity, Culture and Education Literature Review Series has published its eighth volume entitled 'Art Works' – Cultural Labour Markets: A Literature Review.

In this review, Kate Oakley offers an overview of the literature surrounding the nature of work in the cultural industries, as it has permeated policy-making, public debate, and practice across many sub-sectors within the arts, and the cultural sector more generally; and in more academic writing by scholars and cultural commentators.

Chapters include:
- Is art work?

- Studies of artists as cultural workers

- Learning to love work

- geography and work organisation in the cultural industries (hanging out: work in the city, waiting tables: culture and the leisure infrastructure)

The publication may be downloaded in PDF format from www.creativitycultureeducation.org/data/files/cce-lit-review-8-a5-web-130.pdf
