  Art has the remarkable ability to capture the essence of human creativity, emotions, and culture. For centuries, it has served as a mirror reflecting our society's ever-evolving thoughts, passions, and perspectives. From the timeless masterpieces of the Renaissance to the cutting-edge innovations of contemporary artists, art continues to inspire, provoke, and move us in profound ways. 
  Art collecting, an age-old practice that has transcended generations, allows individuals to become custodians of these profound expressions of human imagination. Whether you're an aspiring art enthusiast, a seasoned collector, or someone who's simply curious about the world of art, this book is your gateway to the captivating universe of art collecting. 
  At its core, art collecting is a deeply personal endeavor. It's about more than just acquiring pieces of artwork; it's a journey of exploration, self-expression, and appreciation. But why do people collect art? The motivations are as diverse as the art itself. Some collect for the sheer joy of surrounding themselves with beauty, while others see it as an investment opportunity. Art can be a reflection of one's identity or a means of connecting with different cultures and histories. In this book, we'll delve into the myriad reasons why individuals choose to embark on this enriching path. 
  Understanding the art market is a crucial aspect of art collecting. Over time, this market has evolved from a relatively exclusive sphere to a global industry with immense economic significance. We'll explore the historical trajectory of the art market, examining the key milestones and shifts that have shaped it.

  Mariachi in the Twenty-First...

  This Element contributes to the interdisciplinary study of mariachi, especially in the United States, by focusing on two areas that have yet to receive substantive academic attention: philanthropy and museum studies. In 2011, UNESCO included mariachi music on its list of expressions of intangible cultural heritage. While it is undoubtedly true that mariachi is in many ways intangible, this downplays expressions of its rich material culture and the work of scholars to research mariachi history beyond an emphasis on musical performance. The first section considers mariachi collecting and philanthropy in the US, especially the efforts of Edward E. Marsh and Chris Strachwitz. The second section examines the first major mariachi history museum/exhibit in the US, managed by the Mariachi Scholarship Foundation and housed at Southwestern College in California. Finally, some open areas for research are proposed.

  Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.
