Pioneer community arts practitioner, researcher and writer William Cleveland will be here to speak and facilitate an activity-based discussion that contextualises community arts practice, research and evaluation and how these fields might foster mutually effective partnerships for community engagement. The talk will address questions such as: • How do arts-based community engagement practices produce sustained impact? • Why are research and evaluation of essence in framing the larger narrative for arts-based community engagement? • What opportunities are there for cross-sector collaborations in research and community arts? Building on case studies and stories shared at the talk, William will also run workshops for arts practitioners and community organisers that further explore how research and evaluation might strengthen the effectiveness of community arts practice and also increase support for community partners and organisers.
