Abstract: The aesthetic experience digitalisation influences the capacity of artistry and creativity of the artwork and the quality of participation in arts.Due to cultural differences between post-communist and non-communist countries' citizens in perception qualities, this research aims to evaluate the influence of the participation form (in-real or digital) in the aesthetic situation by the receivers from postcommunist and non-communist societies on artistry and creativity potential in the context of cultural and social sustainability.The quality of participation in five arts types (musical, performing, literary, audio-visual, visual) was evaluated using the same ten criteria.Qualitative data analysis based on an international sample from 38 countries (n = 221) concludes that the participation form in arts determines participation quality level in the aesthetic situation by post-communist and non-communist countries' receivers differently.There are significant cultural determinants among post-communist and non-communist countries' citizens between participation in particular arts and between particular forms of participation in particular types of arts.The reasons for these differences cannot be drawn from this research; however, future comparative qualitative research directions are set.The research results, in the context of the political system transformation theory as one of the sustainable development features, should gain the interest of: 1) Art creators looking for the optimal and sustainable way of distributing artworks among receivers from post-communist and non-communist countries; 2) Art managers and marketers for deeper understanding of post-communist and non-communist art receivers' perspectives and their preferences about participation in arts in-real or digitally towards sustainable development; 3) Art receivers to compare their opinion about the ways of sustainable participation in arts with the preferences of art receivers from post-communist and non-communist countries
