Summary/Abstract: Cultural organisations are under constant pressure to articulate their value to society beyond the wider and less tangible notions of enriching our lives through culture. Funding bodies increasingly expect organisations to demonstrate their economic and social contributions. The different approaches to valuing culture are, to varying degrees, segmented into four main frameworks for policy development in the field of culture: culture and sustainability, culture and the economy, culture and society, and culture and creativity. This article will examine each of these frameworks in turn and analyse the practical implications and current practices for measuring the social impact of culture.
