This study contrasts grantmaking by leading American foundations in the years 2001 (the most recent year for which comprehensive data were available) and 1990, the first full year after the Cold War.1 The conclusions are sobering: among the minority of foundations that support the arts, international exchange grants – that is, grants that directly encourage artists, productions or arts experts to cross America’s borders – rank among the lowest of funding priorities. When measured at the height of American philanthropic activity, total direct grants for international arts

Today, more than ever, the United States seeks to earn the respect and praise of the world, but opinion polls suggest that the country is falling short of the mark. The economic and military might which has gained the United States an unchallenged position of supremacy has not sufficed to win hearts and minds. But the power of America always has resided more in its moral than its military authority. In the face of criticism of the United States’ unilateralism, most manifest in the invasion of Iraq, that moral authority appears to be eroding in the eyes of the world. How to reinstate it? How

Cultural diplomacy is back. In the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001 a plethora of articles, reports, and op-ed pieces has appeared, urging greater attention to how the United States, its values, culture, and policies are perceived abroad and to how we can improve those perceptions.

There has been an increase in the notion that changes in the economy have pushed creative assets to the core of economic life. The author suggests that instead of spending time and money on measuring the economic impact of the arts and culture, one should focus on understanding how creative work and institutions are changing and how to create a more vital, diverse cultural life.

Within the last decade, there has been a surge of scholarship, media commentary and experimentation on what is rather loosely referred to as the “new economy.” In the opening essay of this issue of the Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society, Kieran Healy describes the major attributes of the “new economy” as the term is being used by philosophers, pundits, and practitioners.

In this article I look at these new dimensions in charitable giving over the last decade—especially the rise of venture philanthropy—from the vantage point of arts and culture. Venture philanthropy has by passed the arts, but its rhetoric, principles, and priorities present challenges for arts and cultural institutions. Although venture philanthropy is neither as innovative nor as revolutionary as its proponents have claimed, some influential funders now look at philanthropic giving through a different lens and with a changed set of priorities. At the very least, arts and
