The author contends that the highest cultural and artistic expressions of a nation are
dependent not only upon High Art expressions by its academically trained artists and crafts
persons, but also upon the Vernacular cultural and artistic expressions of its living peoples.
Two policy approaches to informal community-based culture and art education are described.
Top-down approaches are designed and implemented by academically educated (High Arts)
experts with little community input; bottom-up approaches rely heavily on input from
community (Low Art) or Vernacular arts experts. While top-down policies are found to be
immediately effective, they may lack longevity. The effects of bottom-up policies to culture
and art education are slower to achieve, but ultimately may be longer lasting and more deeply
effective.
