Abstract

The city stereotype of country people as uncultivated, unsophisticated, and uninterested in the arts and its education is rejected by this study. It draws upon interviews and a survey of home-tutors and staff associated with the Longreach School of Distance Education about their views on drama and visual arts education. The authors show that while a wide range of views are held about the arts in education, most parents value their children's participation in the arts and seek further participation.
