The Three-Sector Model
Analysis of artist biographies hints as well to
the gaining significance of interactive ties
among the three sectors. Due to shrinking public
financial support, very few artists are
exclusively active in the public sector, with the
trend moving toward interaction in and between
all three sectors.
