The notion that the Olympic Games should complement the showcasing of elite sports competitions with a programme of arts and culture was central to the vision of Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Movement. It is a principle inspired by Coubertin's interpretation of the Ancient Greek Games tradition, which involved the showcasing of human excellence in a variety of forms, from athletics to music and poetry. However, the Olympic cultural programme or 'Cultural Olympiad' has a mixed history and is one of the least visible components within the Olympic Games hosting process. This article starts with a historical overview of Olympic arts and culture programmes, from their original presentation in the form of Olympic art competitions to their latest incarnation as four-year Cultural Olympiads and its increased prominence at the Winter Games. The article then discusses key thematic trends and priority objectives over time, followed by an outline of their varied delivery formats. The article reflects on ongoing challenges for the Cultural Olympiad, in particular, the impact of Olympic branding guidelines and funding structures, which have affected the visibility and recognition of cultural initiatives at Games time. It ends by touching on the new cultural frameworks emerging in the aftermath of the IOC's "Olympic Agenda 2020" strategic roadmap and the opportunities this may bring for stronger associations between Olympic sport and art programming.

This book explores how cultural policies are reflected in the design, management and promotion of the Olympic Games. Garcia examines the concept and evolution of cultural policies throughout the recent history of the Olympic Games and then specifically evaluates the cultural program of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. She argues that the cultural relevance of a major event is highly dependent on the consistency of the policy choices informing its cultural dimensions, and demonstrates how such events frequently fail to leave long-term cultural legacies, and are often unable to provide an experience that fully engages and represents the host community, due to their over-emphasis on an economic rather than a social and cultural agenda.

This is the history of one of the most important cultural collaborations of the 20th Century, the joining of art and sport. Here is the story of the inclusion of the Fine Arts as competition events in the modern Olympic Games. Recounted within these pages for the first time are the ideas and techniques that briefly created a union of these disparate worlds. Follow themas they conducted what were the Olympic Art Competitions of the 20th Century. In this volume you will meet the people who forged that union and those who destroyed it. You will also discover why you never heard of these competitions. Here too are the results of the art events and your opportunity to meet a few of the artists who pursued their quest for Olympic Gold. Also available in hardcover through www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com and www.chapters.indigo.ca. Reviews From: "Journal of Olympic History", Vol. 9, No. 2, Spring 2001 Review by Anthony Bijkerk, the Netherlands "Over a period of forty years, I have read and collected many books on the Olympic Games, and of course in several of these books one can find references to the Olympic Art Competitions in the period from 1912 to 1948. But as far as I know, this happens to be the very first time an overall and complete history of this Olympic Art competition has ever been published. Richard Stanton has done a wonderful and thorough research on this particular subject. Every Olympic historian should be able to remember how Pierre de Coubertin in 1906 declined going to the Intercalary Games inAthens... ...Richard Stanton went through the archives of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Lausanne with the finest comb he could find, with the result that we now have an almost complete insight in the efforts Coubertin put into making possible the union of sports and arts in the Olympic Games. Stanton made an English translation of many letters in the French language which he found in the archives... ...In this particular issue of the Journal of Olympic History, May 2001, Mr. Stanton, in an article submitted at the same time as his book, gives interesting details about the winners of that art competition from 1912. He continues with the developments of the art competitions in Antwerp 1920, Paris 1924, Amsterdam 1928, Los Angeles 1932 and Berlin 1936. The situation after World War Two, with the Olympic Games in London (and the last full art competition) is also given, just before the final chapter on the disparate union of the arts and sport unfolds immediately after these Games. In three consecutive chapters with the appropriate titles: "The Throwing of the Gauntlet", "The Setting of the Midnight Sun", and "The Coup de Grace", Stanton describes the circumstances (and persons involved), that made an end to the Olympic Art Competitions, and finally changed them into Olympic Art Exhibitions! Many of these details are known, but the whole story unfolds before us in a dramatic way. Of particular interest are the final chapters, giving us the possibility to meet with several artists who participated in these art competitions and won an Olympic medal or an Honorable Mention. Of course, for those of us who are interested in statistics, the full list with "Results, Lists & Other Curiosities" is the end of this interesting book."

The 2010 Cultural Olympiad Impact Study looks at the period from successful bid (2002/2003) to immediately after the Games (2010/2011), and at the relationship between the Cultural Olympiad and Vancouver's professional arts and cultural community, through a series of case studies, including the opera, symphony, producing theatre companies, an art gallery, presentation houses and festivals. Using the methodologies of content analysis, interview and arts-related data collection, the study aims to answer the following research question: What evidence exists to support the premise that hosting a Cultural Olympiad will provide Vancouver's professional arts and cultural sector with: i. Positive and substantive legacies?; ii. Sustained material and financial benefits?; iii. Increased national and international profile? The results illustrate the divide between 'prediction' and 'actuality'. The study sheds light on the impacts on an existing cultural community hosting an Olympic Games.
