Who becomes a member of the Art world?

In order for one to state a piece of work as “art” one must be a part of the art world itself. According to Dickie the people within the art world are those who keep the art world in tack, such as painters, writers, museum directors, ect. Those who are directly involved with the displaying, teaching or displaying of the work of art. But he also claims that anyone who sees themselves as a member of the art world therefore becomes a member. He explains this more formally by presenting the idea of a core and a minimum core. The essential core consists of the artists who make the art, the people who display the art, and all those who go and appreciate the art. The minimum core consists of those such as art historians, philosophers, and critics. Overall Dickie believes that those who are entitled to be in the art world are those who fall within the essential core and the minimum core.
