Abstract

The service sector of culture and art or the creative economy has gradually acquired independence and has become an essential element of the total social activity, the functioning of which is aimed at the formation and satisfaction of the cultural needs of people. At the same time, just like any other social sector, although it has its own specifics, which does not allow it to “merge” with the sphere of material production, to become its “servicing” link, it is an expression of human imagination, spreading important social and cultural values.
