IN ENGLISH: This study examines factors influencing non-participation in local public culture, defined more broadly than in national policy frameworks to include diverse locally organized practices beyond the institutionalized arts and heritage sectors. Data were collected during the monitoring and evaluation of the Rijeka 2020 European Capital of Culture project (N=835; 47.7% men; Mage=47.5). Using multiple logistic regression, predictors of non-participation across seven cultural fields were analyzed. The results indicated that non-participation in all observed fields of local public culture was associated with factors commonly linked to national highbrow culture. Although certain differences among fields were identified, education, age, and gender emerged as nearly universal predictors of non-participation, pointing to broader patterns of social inequality. Our findings lend support to recent critical analyses of the exclusionary effects of national cultural policy discourses but also suggest that broadening the analytical scope of culture does not automatically dissolve traditional participation gaps. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Ova studija istražuje čimbenike koji utječu na nesudjelovanje u lokalnoj javnoj kulturi, koja je ovdje definirana šire nego u okvirima nacionalnih politika te uključuje raznolike lokalno organizirane prakse izvan institucionaliziranih sektora umjetnosti i baštine. Podaci su prikupljeni tijekom praćenja i evaluacije projekta Rijeka 2020 - Europska prijestolnica kulture (N = 835; 47,7% muškaraca; M dobi = 47,5). Primjenom višestruke logističke regresije analizirani su prediktori nesudjelovanja u sedam kulturnih područja. Rezultati su pokazali da je nesudjelovanje u svim promatranim područjima lokalne javne kulture povezano s čimbenicima koji se uobičajeno povezuju s nacionalnom visokom kulturom. Iako su utvrđene određene razlike među područjima, obrazovanje, dob i spol pokazali su se gotovo univerzalnim prediktorima nesudjelovanja, što upućuje na šire obrasce društvene nejednakosti. Naši nalazi podupiru nedavne kritičke analize isključujućih učinaka diskursa nacionalnih kulturnih politika, ali također sugeriraju da proširivanje analitičkog opsega kulture ne dokida automatski tradicionalne razlike u sudjelovanju.
