Our paper, "Cross-cultural Investigation of Art Career Background and Social Class in Art Education," explores how art career background and social level affect art education opportunities and equity, shaping career choices, resource access, and development. It reviews social stratification, sociological perspectives on art, and cross-cultural contrast frameworks. Based on art industry participation data, it discusses multi-dimensional factors' effects on art careers and analyzes societal resource differences. Case studies compare art education industries, focusing on government support and social structure. It explores international exchange programs' role in cultural diversity and arts education collaboration. The paper proposes strategies to optimize art education resources, emphasizing diversity and difference respect. Findings enhance understanding and provide policy insights.
