Abstract
This conclusion outlines the aims and intentions of the volume, and identifies common themes amongst the chapters. The volume draws together reflections on a variety of practices, policies and lived experiences, which all touch upon the social value of art. It includes analyses of instrumental cultural policies, explorations of the rhetorical tensions between social and political art in the context of neoliberal politics, experiences of artists engaged in social practices and museum responses to the social turn. The conclusion affirms that the volume intends to contextualise the rhetoric surrounding social value and the arts in a way that is useful for understanding its application to practice, policy and museums.
