On Cultural Influence offers a unique perspective of international viewpoints of the changing cultural landscape. This collection presents over thirty papers delivered at three apexart international conferences: Wroclaw, Poland (1999), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2001), and Honolulu, Hawaii (2004).

The continuing conference series entitled Inside Out: Reassessing International Cultural Influence is intended to promote an open dialog among notable cultural practitioners, including curators, writers, historians, arts managers, artists, sociologists and others, about various cultural concerns and how they change from each gathering to the next and differ among the participants. The wide range of perspectives and wealth of examples and references to artistic activity around the world offered in the papers of On Cultural Influence will provide a valuable resource for teachers and students of art, sociology, anthropology and cultural studies, as well as for all readers interested in diverse views of culture in a changing society.
