"1. Does Dickie mean that any person who wants to be a member of the artworld can?"
I think by that, he means that the artworld doesn't have to be closed off to those who are "gifted" or expert critics. If someone wants to know more about art and enjoy it, then they shouldn't be looked down doing so. However, while Dickie might consider them a core member of the artworld, he thinks there is another core within it. That core includes artists and critics. I think within that core, they happen to be more right than the first core. They have a wider knowledge than someone who just goes to a theatre sometimes. But by saying that anyone can be a part of the artworld, it shows the artworld as more accepting and open.
