N2 - User Participation and Quality in Cultural Policy The ongoing debate on quality will always be a pivotal point for cultural policy legitimacy in democratic societies. Regardless the aim of the policy, questions related to quality will arise: What is an appropriate concept of quality for public funded art and culture? And why should we use the taxpayers´ money for this area? It is a hallmark of the quality debate that it is actualized when we can observe changes in the cultural policy field. Thus, in the wake of discussions about cultural democracy or the economic potential of art and culture the question of quality becomes more present. Today, user participation or user involvement has become a new trend in cultural policy. Young people are invited to be co-creators of theatrical performances, cultural history museums are asking citizens for help to collect local heritage and libraries allow users to organize events and workshops. Participation is hereby a diverse phenomenon, but all approaches have in common that the cultural institutions more or less are forced to supplement a one-way communication with an increased dialogue with the users. It is the point of departure for this article that the described changes in public funded cultural communication require a renewed debate on quality in cultural policy. The first part of the article is an examination of the concept user participation, while the second part is a discussion of quality in cultural policy in relation to user participation. Here, a central question is whether the quality of user participation in cultural policy can be covered by the already established understandings of quality or if the concept of quality should be redefined when it comes to user participation.
