Value of art in social fabric

How to encourage understanding of and promote the value of art in social fabric?

For the lack of a more effective method, the value of contemporary art is often reduced to visible results or products.

Processes developed by artistic practices mainly end up to be invisible or unrecognized so the audiences and decision-makers often don’t recognize the importance and the value of arts in society. How to better understand the influence of the artists and their work in the local context, urban or rural? How to encourage and support practices which create intangible value for society?
