Valuing Participation: Why artists initiate participatory arts projects, and how they identify their value (Dr Katya Johanson, Dr Hilary Glow & Kirsty Baird)
The document discusses how non-profit arts organizations in Minneapolis generate over $300 million in annual revenue, with performing arts organizations accounting for $187 million of that total. It also notes that retail sales in the creative sector generated over $430 million in 2011, demonstrating the significant economic impact of the arts in Minneapolis. The creative sector is described as an ecology made up of artists, arts organizations, funders, educators, and audiences that are all interdependent.
The document summarizes an artist support study conducted by the Cultural Development Corporation of Central Oklahoma and Creative Community Builders. They interviewed over 120 local artists and advocates. Key recommendations include having artists build a multi-disciplinary network, holding an annual artist summit, developing neighborhood cultural plans, providing artist workspaces, and expanding business training for artists. The recommendations aim to make the area more supportive of local artists and advance the community.
This document summarizes the Housing First Initiative in Cleveland, Ohio. It discusses three key aspects:
1) The robust coalition of organizations that came together, led by Enterprise Housing Solutions, to implement permanent supportive housing in Cleveland.
2) The process of selecting sites, which involved securing support from local politicians and community engagement. Both successes and failures in site selection are discussed.
3) The strategy employed, which focused on coalition leadership, political support, intelligent site selection, and community education to site permanent supportive housing amid sometimes strong local opposition.
The document summarizes the Chinese-American Planning Council's (CPC) 50th anniversary celebration events, including the 2014 Walkathon & Family Day Fair. It describes CPC's origins in 1965 and growth to become one of the largest non-profit providers serving the Asian-American community in New York City. At the Walkathon event, thousands gathered to raise awareness and funds, and celebrate CPC's 50 years of serving immigrant communities through social services. The event featured cultural performances and honored the organization's continued work empowering youth leaders.
This document summarizes neighborhood revitalization efforts supported by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. It highlights three projects: 1) The Beerline Trail Neighborhood Project that is activating public spaces through arts and culture. 2) Leadership development programs that are building resident leadership capacity to strengthen neighborhoods. 3) The Building Neighborhood Capacity Program that is empowering residents to identify and work on neighborhood priorities.
New Orleans is a city of contradictions. On the one hand, New Orleans is famously called “The Big Easy” and, “the city care forgot” both of which indicate a relaxed attitude towards life and its troubles. This, however, is at odds with the realities experienced by the lower-middle-class residents of the city and parish. Our interviewees perceived systemic corruption, structural inequality, and obdurate bureaucracy as primary barriers to developing a more energy-efficient city. At this research site, we set out to examine the energy savings practices and attitudes of lower-income residents of New Orleans who are renters or live in public housing. The people who do successfully access public weatherization assistance are the ones that marshal an array of capitals (cultural, social, political, and economic) to navigate “the system.” From a programmatic standpoint, there are significant barriers to reaching low-income households with energy efficiency services and information. Low-income populations tend to be diverse in terms of culture, language, and housing arrangements. Capitals make defining such populations in need problematic; as we see here, even self-identified low-income residents of New Orleans had not defined themselves as in need of assistance.

The Bedford City School District selected Andrea Celico as its new superintendent amid tensions on the school board. During the heated meeting where Celico was hired, the three white school board members voted to remove the African American board president from her traditional role in contract negotiations. Several parents at the meeting shouted that one of the white board members was a "racist" who should be recalled. Celico has experience as an assistant superintendent and teacher and pledged to provide an excellent learning environment for all students.

The document outlines plans for creating a public art masterplan for Jacksonville, NC. It discusses the importance of public art and cultural planning for community engagement, economic development, and civic pride. Public art reflects the community, increases tourism, and research shows it leads to higher civic engagement and lower crime rates. The art council supports local artists and produces events like ARTBLOCK Festival to encourage cultural diversity. A vision is proposed that engages the community in defining Jacksonville's public art through a selection process to include functional, historical, or environmental artworks.
Keevin Kewis presents on the NMAI Artist Leadership Program for museums and cultural arts organizations. The program aims to rebuild cultural confidence in local indigenous artists and enable them to think more broadly about their art through community art projects. It also aims to give artists access to museum collections and present them as authorities on their own art. The program works to break down stereotypes, mentor young artists, and use art for community healing. The $25,000 contracts available through the program would support local artists in sharing their cultural knowledge and value through art in their own voice and languages. The program provides transformative opportunities for artists and helps ensure the survival of community cultural heritage.
Dominic Campbell - Arts and creativity: A role in elder careRunwaySale
This document discusses how arts festivals can help address challenges related to aging populations in Europe. It notes that by 2030, half the population of Western Europe will be over 50, which is unprecedented. Festivals like Bealtaine in Ireland are highlighted as examples of how they successfully engage older people in the arts and provide social, health, and personal benefits. The document argues that festivals can play an important role in changing perceptions and planning around aging by providing opportunities for creativity, social connection and intergenerational exchange.
The document discusses the creative economy in southwest Wisconsin and its opportunities. It defines the creative economy as the intersection of creative industries, workforce, and communities. It provides statistics on the number of arts-related businesses and jobs in Wisconsin, and estimates the economic impact of the nonprofit arts industry at $418 million annually in the state. The creative economy is described as community-based and integral to business and community development by attracting visitors, engaging residents, and strengthening communities.

Creative Youth Development (CYD) intentionally integrates learning in the arts, humanities, and sciences with youth development principles. In CYD programs, young people create work and apply their creative skills to solve problems, shape their lives and build the world in which they want to live. The 2014 National Summit for CYD generated new focus and energy in CYD, catalyzing collective action (e.g., CYD National Partnership, Alliance for Creative Youth Development). In this webinar, we explore what it means to create and sustain programs for youth through this framework through case study examples, discussion, and student work. Featuring youth and adult leaders from Creative Action and Say Sí. Moderated by Denise Montgomery, director of the National CYD Initiative.
This document outlines the schedule and content for an introduction to visual culture course. The course will cover topics such as ways of seeing, dominance of images, showing seeing, what is visual culture, art history, art appreciation, connoisseurship and taste, and new ways of seeing. It will examine how images are analyzed in relation to cultural, social, and historical context and how vision is a cultural construction.
The document outlines the work of an organization that commissions contemporary craft projects, connects artists to diverse communities, and highlights the social, cultural, and economic value of craft. It discusses outcomes for artists such as career development and new audiences, as well as outcomes for communities like creative learning, well-being, and social cohesion.

CREATIVE CITIZENSHIP: BUILDING CONNECTION, KNOWLEDGE,
BELONGING AND LEADERSHIP IN YOUNG PEOPLE
Lisa Burnett Regional Manager Transit Lounge Caboolture Qld and Anne Spelman Client Services
Coordinator Moreton Bay Region Libraries Qld
For the last three years Moreton Bay Region Libraries has hosted Transit Lounge Caboolture (TLC), a developmental
program for creative young people. Although not an obvious pairing, it has been successful, with the hosting arrangement on
the verge of transforming into a true partnership. Between them, they offer a suite of services and programs that support the
developmental needs of creative young people from pathfinders through to aspiring artists, emerging artists and professional
artists. Programs such as Mash It Up short film festival and Band Camp, services like the enewsletter and project mentoring
provide opportunities for skills development, networking, showcasing and resourcing that would not otherwise exist. Through
this unique partnership, a continuum of support has been offered that connects young people to each other, to community
resources and to professional artists and artsworkers – connection, knowledge, belonging – developing a generation of
young citizens who have a stake in their community and the skills and networks to create and lead arts and cultural activity.
Edited version of a paper presented at ‘12 to 24s @ your public library in Australia and New Zealand conference’ Qld 11-
12 June 2010.
hen we sat down to develop this paper
there was one word that dominated our
conversation – why?
• why does Transit Lounge Caboolture exist?
• why is Moreton Bay Region Libraries doing
community development work?
• why are we partnering?
• why are we interested in working with young
people?
• why arts and culture?
• why do we think other people should be doing
this?
We articulated our personal motivations, which
ultimately lead back to some clear and compelling
reasons.
Declining optimism
In the 10 years between 1995 and 2005 there was a
significant decline in young people’s optimism
regarding their preferred futures
• 49% of young people think the future quality
of life in Australia will be worse (up 25%)
• 65% think the world is headed for a bad time
of crisis and trouble (up 49%)
• although 89% would prefer a ‘green’ future
only 23% expect that is what they will see
• although only 11% prefer a ‘growth’ focused
future, 77% expect that is what will prevail.1
If you are faced with a widening gulf between your
expected and preferred futures, what does that do
to your sense of hope – especially if you do not
feel that you have any control over that situation?
Reduced feelings of wellbeing
A survey2 of more than 10,000 Australian students
from prep school to year 12 found that
• 40% of students could be described as
displaying lower levels of social and emotional
wellbeing
• there was, at most, only a weak positive
relationship.

Paul Long: Culturing communities? Understanding intermediation and localityPhil Jones
This document discusses a research project exploring how cultural intermediation connects communities to the creative economy. The project aims to understand how intermediation engages hard-to-reach communities and how to measure the value of these activities. Key research questions examine how formal cultural intermediation has involved different communities and facilitated their connection to the creative economy. The investigations will take empirical perspectives from within communities in Balsall Heath and Ordsall to understand the dynamic sites of cultural policy implementation and cultural production.

This document discusses cultural policy and social policy in remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory. It argues that cultural strength and social resilience are interconnected, and that social policy is essentially arts policy. It presents several case studies of cultural programs in remote communities that used multi-media platforms like music, film, and arts to engage youth and address issues like binge drinking. The document advocates connecting cultural policy and the Indigenous Advancement Strategy through prioritizing investment in the arts to foster innovation, participation, and intercultural dialogue as a way to strengthen social cohesion and cultural heritage.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

THE LIAM NEESON EFFECTWhy do you choose to work in participatory arts?
Have you seen the movie Taken?
There’s this famous scene where
Liam Neeson picks up the phone and
the kidnappers have his daughter. But
he says: ‘I spent my life acquiring very
specific skills and I’ll find you’. And I
think of that when I think about [my
work]: I’ve spent my life acquiring
these very specific skills and now
what I’m interested in is the
transference of those skills in
creation of that work.

CONTEXT - PARTICIPATORY ARTS
KNOWN VARIOUSLY AS COMMUNITY ARTS, PARTICIPATORY OR SOCIALLY ENGAGED
ARTS, OR ARTS ENGAGEMENT
THE SHIFT FROM ONE TERM OR FRAMEWORK TO ANOTHER REPRESENTS CHANGING
IDEAS ABOUT THE ARTS AND DEMOCRACY, WITH EACH CONSECUTIVE POLICY
FRAMEWORK IDENTIFYING AN IDEALISED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL
ARTISTS AND THE NON-PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY IN WHICH THEIR WORK IS
SITUATED
“THESE PRACTICES ARE… INTERESTED IN THE CREATIVE REWARDS OF COLLABORATIVE
ACTIVITY – WHETHER IN THE FORM OF WORKING WITH PRE-EXISTING COMMUNITIES
OR ESTABLISHING ONE’S OWN INTERDISCIPLINARY NETWORK”.

THE PROBLEM OF ARTISTIC VALUE
• SYSTEMATICALLY MISSING FROM THE LITERATURE ON SOCIALLY
ENGAGED ARTS PRACTICE IS CRITICAL ATTENTION TO THEIR ARTISTIC
VALUES (BADHAM 2010 84).
• MIWON KWON : ‘CONCERNED TO INTEGRATE ART MORE DIRECTLY INTO
THE REALM OF THE SOCIAL, EITHER IN ORDER TO REDRESS (IN AN
ACTIVIST SENSE) URGENT SOCIAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE ECOLOGICAL
CRISIS, HOMELESSNESS, AIDS, HOMOPHOBIA, RACISM, AND SEXISM, OR
MORE GENERALLY IN ORDER TO RELATIVIZE ART AS ONE AMONG MANY
FORMS OF CULTURAL WORK…[AND THEY] TEND TO TREAT AESTHETIC
..CONCERNS AS SECONDARY ISSUES’ (1997: 91).
7. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
THE PROBLEM OF ARTISTIC VALUE
CLAIRE BISHOP : ‘THERE CAN BE NO FAILED,
UNSUCCESSFUL, UNRESOLVED OR BORING WORKS OF
COLLABORATIVE ART BECAUSE ALL ARE EQUALLY
ESSENTIAL TO THE TASK OF STRENGTHENING THE SOCIAL
BOND. WHILE I AM BROADLY SYMPATHETIC TO THAT
AMBITION, I WOULD ARGUE THAT IT IS ALSO CRUCIAL TO
DISCUSS, ANALYSE, AND COMPARE SUCH WORK
CRITICALLY AS ART’
8. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
FOR THIS PROJECT
EXAMINATION OF ARTISTS’ MOTIVATIONS IN
PRODUCING PARTICIPATORY WORKS IS ONE PIECE OF
THE CULTURAL VALUE JIGSAW PUZZLE;
IT IS ONE ASPECT OF THE QUESTION OF HOW TO
UNDERSTAND/ANALYSE THE VALUE AND IMPACTS
CREATED BY PARTICIPATORY ARTS PRACTICES

WHO AND WHAT?
PROJECT INVOLVED:
• COLLABORATION BETWEEN 2 ACADEMICS AND
KIRSTY BAIRD, A COMMUNITY ARTS OFFICER
INTERESTED IN SCOPE AND DIVERSITY OF
ARTISTS IN PARTICIPATORY PROJECTS
• ON-LINE ARTIST SURVEY (N = 247)
• IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS WITH 16 ARTISTS – OUR
FOCUS FOR THIS PAPER
10. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
TERMS
THROUGH THE SURVEY
• WE ESTABLISHED A SIZEABLE COMMUNITY OF
PRACTICE/PRACTITIONERS – IE PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS WHO
SELF DESCRIBE AS WORKING (ALL OR SOME OF THE TIME) IN
PARTICIPATORY ARTS
• WE ASKED RESPONDENTS TO FRAME THEIR OWN
DEFINITION OF ARTS PARTICIPATION
• THE TERM SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT EMERGED AS THE KEY
FRAMEWORK
11. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT
M. BADHAM 2014
• SOCIALLY ENGAGED ARTS INTEND TO
CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIAL CHANGE AND TO
• ‘FACILITATE INDIVIDUALS AND
COMMUNITIES IN ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN
THEIR CULTURAL IDENTITY’ (BADHAM 2014:
86).
12. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS
RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED:
• PURPOSES IN INITIATING OR BECOMING
INVOLVED IN SOCIALLY ENGAGED PRACTICE,
• HOW THEY DEFINE VALUE EITHER IN
RELATION TO THEIR OWN PRACTICE OR TO
THE ARTFORM IN WHICH IT SITS.

ARTIST MOTIVATIONS
FIVE CATEGORIES THAT RANGE ACROSS ARTISTIC AND SOCIAL
OBJECTIVES. THESE CATEGORIES INCLUDE THE MOTIVATIONS TO:
1. ADDRESS ABSTRACT OR GENERAL SOCIAL ISSUES
2. ADDRESS LOCAL OR SPECIFIC SOCIAL ISSUES
3. GIVE OR SHARE ARTISTIC SKILLS WITH OTHERS
4. IMPROVE INDIVIDUAL ARTISTIC PRACTICE
5. IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE ARTS SECTOR
15. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
1. ADDRESS ABSTRACT OR GENERAL
SOCIAL ISSUES
• ARTS PROJECTS ADDRESS SOCIAL NEEDS -
FACILITATED BY THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS IN
THE ART-MAKING.
• COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS CAN ALLOW THE
ARTISTIC PRODUCT TO PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS
INTO SHARED SOCIAL PROBLEMS
• THE COMMUNITY IS SEEN AS A RESOURCE FOR
NEW WAYS OF THINKING.
16. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
2. ADDRESS LOCAL OR
SPECIFIC SOCIAL ISSUES
INVOLVES THE IDENTIFICATION OF A SPECIFIC
SOCIAL ISSUE THAT THE PROJECT COULD
ADDRESS. FOR EXAMPLE: BUILDING RESILIENCE
FOR DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN
17. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
3. GIVE OR SHARE ARTISTIC SKILLS WITH
OTHERS
9-12 YEAR OLD HEARING
LIAM NEESON EFFECT
THE KNOWLEDGE THAT ARTISTS HAVE
VALUABLE SKILLS THAT CAN BE PASSED
ON, TAUGHT TO OR SHARED WITH OTHERS
18. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
4.1 IMPROVE INDIVIDUAL ARTISTIC PRACTICE
PROJECT – THEATRE GROUP 9-11 YEAR OLDS WITH HEARING
IMPAIRMENTS
“I ASKED LACHLAN – WHO WAS A NINE-YEAR-OLD LITTLE REBEL
AND MY CULT FIGURE OF THE CAST, FLUENT IN AUSLAN BUT NEVER
LET ON THAT HE WAS – I ASKED HIM WHAT SHOW WOULD HE LIKE
TO SEE AND HE WROTE ‘THE BLOOD!! DEATH!! SHOW’. AND I
THOUGHT, ‘YES, I WANT TO SEE THIS SHOW NOW, AND I WANT TO
MAKE THIS SHOW. I WANT TO MAKE IT IN COLLABORATION WITH
NINE- TO ELEVEN-YEAR-OLDS”
19. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
4.2 IMPROVE INDIVIDUAL
ARTISTIC PRACTICE
PROJECT – WORKING IN RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILTIES WITH THE ELDERLY ON A
DANCE PROJECT
“I COMPLETELY CHANGED MY APPROACH AND MADE IT MUCH MORE ABOUT
BEING IN THE MOMENT, AND HAVING PERMISSION TO PLAY. AND THAT WAS
JUST A REAL SHIFT FOR ME. I REALISED HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS, BECAUSE I’M
CONSTANTLY FEELING AS IF THERE’S NOT ENOUGH LEVITY IN EVERYDAY LIFE.”
20. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
4.3 IMPROVE INDIVIDUAL ARTISTIC PRACTICE
• PARTICIPATION = MEANS OF ASSISTING ARTISTS
TO ROAD-TEST ARTISTIC PRODUCTS WITH
AUDIENCES PRIOR TO THE PROJECT’S
COMPLETION
• PARTICIPATION PROVIDED THEM WITH
KNOWLEDGE OR INSPIRATION THAT IMPROVED
THEIR OWN PRACTICE.
• PARTICIPATION IMPACTS ON ARTISTS’ OWN
LEARNING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
21. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
5.1 IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE ARTS
SECTOR
PROJECT – MOBILISING RESIDENTS FROM A PUBLIC HOUSING
ESTATE TO DEVELOP A PRODUCTION FOR A MAINSTREAM THEATRE
“I FEEL THAT IF WE’RE GOING TO SUSTAIN THE SOCIAL RELEVANCE
OF THEATRE, IT’S IMPORTANT TO ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT ISSUES OF
CIVIC RELEVANCE. I FEEL LIKE WE’VE LOST THE CIVIC DISCOURSE IN
OUR THEATRES. IT’S JUST ENTERTAINMENT AND TWO-
DIMENSIONAL”
22. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
5.2 IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE ARTS
SECTOR
• EXPRESSED FEELINGS OF NEGATIVITY ABOUT WHAT THEY CONSIDERED TO BE
CONVENTIONAL ARTS PRACTICES
• SEE SOCIALLY ENGAGED ARTS AS ESSENTIAL TO INVIGORATING THE SECTOR AND
RESTORING ITS CULTURAL RELEVANCE
• IN SOME INSTANCES, PARTICIPATORY ARTS WERE SEEN AS A FORM OF R&D FOR
THE PERFORMING ARTS: BY BRINGING AUDIENCES INTO THE CONCEPTION AND
PRODUCTION OF AN EVENT, PARTICIPATORY PRACTICE FACILITATED INNOVATION
AS WELL OPERATING AS A FORM OF MARKET RESEARCH.
• ARTISTS SAW THEMSELVES AS PROVIDING A BRIDGE BETWEEN COMMUNITIES
WHO WERE UNFAMILIAR WITH CONVENTIONAL ARTS ORGANISATIONS, AND THE
ORGANISATIONS THEMSELVES.
23. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
THE AIM OF OUR RESEARCH IS NOT SO MUCH TO
RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF ARTISTIC MERIT IN
SOCIALLY ENGAGED ARTS PRACTICE, BUT RATHER
TO GET CLOSER TO IT BY EXAMINING ARTISTS’
MOTIVATIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE VALUE
OF PARTICIPATORY PRACTICE
24. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
‘ARTWORKS’ PAUL HAMLYN FOUNDATION
2015
THE PRACTICE OF ARTS IN PARTICIPATORY SETTINGS HAS EVOLVED IN RECENT
YEARS. SUCH WORK IS A POSITIVE CAREER CHOICE: MANY ARTISTS SEE IT AS
FUNDAMENTAL TO THEIR PRACTICE.
…[BUT]…PRACTITIONERS HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS
A COLLECTIVE VOICE.
THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES:
• TO DELIVER MORE VALUE FOR INVESTMENT IN THE ARTS IN
PARTICIPATORY SETTINGS;
• GAIN NEW VALIDATION AND RESPECT FOR PARTICIPATORY WORK; AND
• DELIVER EVEN BETTER EXPERIENCES FOR THE PEOPLE TAKING PART
25. Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
VALUING PARTICIPATORY WORK
FOLLOWING THE CALL MADE BY ARTWORKS…
OUR WORK OF IDENTIFYING THE QUALITIES AND MOTIVATIONS BEHIND ARTISTS’
PRACTICE IN ARTS PARTICIPATION PROJECTS
IS PART OF THE PROCESS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT VALUING PARTICIPATORY
WORK MEANS
VALUING THE ARTISTS WHO DELIVER IT.
ARTWORKS: “BUILDING ON [A] SHARED UNDERSTANDING, WE CAN
RAISE ARTS IN PARTICIPATORY SETTINGS TO NEW LEVELS OF CONFIDENCE,
RECOGNITION AND AMBITION, DEVELOPING A STRONG COLLECTIVE VOICE TO
MATCH STRONG COLLECTIVE PRACTICE”
