The word "quality" is often code for aesthetic quality, as judged by a specific set of cultural expectations and preferences. Here, in no particular order, are ten different kinds of quality in arts experiences: AESTHETIC: is it beautiful? PARTICIPATORY: can people get involved or contribute to it? TECHNICAL: is it masterful?
