Content
Community based arts are a valuable tool for building strong communities, increasing social capital and creating exciting, distinctive art works. There is also growing interest in how participatory art processes build new relationships with audiences. This unit addresses the knowledge and skills needed to engage diverse communities in arts projects, and manage community creative processes. The unit focuses on the design of art projects that enable collaborative and participatory processes. Topics include: the role of artists and facilitators; venues and facilities for community based arts; public art; arts based social enterprises; developing art strategies and policies; and evaluating community based art projects. The unit examines this work from the context of arts organisations, government and the community sector.
