Artworld

The "Artworld" is a term created by philosopher Arthur Danto to describe the overall context and community that surrounds and interprets art. It includes artists, critics, galleries, museums, collectors, and viewers who share knowledge, conventions, and interpretations that give art its meaning and value. In essence, the Artworld is the environment that shapes how art is created, understood, and appreciated, making art not just about the piece itself but also about the cultural and social networks that influence its significance.
