Abstract
The Artistic Rebuttal Project asks individuals to express the value of, and to counter negative stereotypes about, the arts through the creation of rebuttals. Since its 2011 inception, 460 rebuttals have been collected. A thematic analysis reveals patterns in the rebuttals' descriptions of the arts' value. The amount of intrinsic expressions far outweighs that of instrumental ones. Themes most frequently expressed are Community Identity, Emotional Health, and Individual Identity. These themes and others are compared to existing frameworks describing the benefits of the arts, to better understand how the rebuttals reflect, advance, and counter existing paradigms in arts advocacy.
