Art, Recognition and Social Science: Re-Thinking (E)valuation

This event is on 16 May 2014 10:00am

The Institute of Cultural Capital is delighted to co-host a research seminar exploring the politics of evaluation, in partnership with the AHRC-funded ‘Cultural Intermediation and the Creative Economy’ research programme.

Art, Recognition and Social Science: Re-Thinking (E)valuation will invite delegates to debate the various challenges and opportunities in evaluating arts-based community interventions, including balancing the economic and political imperatives of funding bodies with the desire to establish recognition and reputation with a like-minded community of interest, according to shared notions of practice, identity and value. Delegates will hear from peers with experience and expertise in community-based arts practice and evaluation, and then participate in group discussions on emerging central issues.
