In partnership with Creative People and Places and University OF Leeds, the Journal of Arts & Communities is pleased to announce a Call for Submissions for a Special Edition dedicated to People, Place, Power: increasing arts engagement.
Between 2013-16 Arts Council England (ACE), through the Creative People and Places programme (CPP), will have invested £37 million in 21 locations where evidence suggests that people's involvement in the arts is significantly below the national average. The aim of the investment is to increase the likelihood of participation and through action research to experiment with radically different approaches to programming work and engaging people in those communities.
This Call for Submissions offers an opportunity to publish learning from the different approaches that has been undertaken by Creative People and Places areas, and from researchers and practitioners working outside of CPP on related themes including but not limited to the following:
- How do we build sustainable audiences from one off inspirational events?
- How do we develop long term change in the context of short term funding?
- What are the tensions of working in depth with small numbers and at breadth to increase participation across a district?
- What are the implications for the arts of responding to local definitions of culture?
- What happens when communities play a strong role in commissioning work?
- Can we have excellence of art without excellence of engagement?
- What are the challenges of cross sector partnerships?
- Whose capacity are we building – artists and/or communities?
There is a Guest Editorial Team for this Special Edition who will work in partnership with the Journal of Arts & Communities editorial team.
The Journal of Arts & Communities is dedicated to researchers and practitioners from around the world who wish to increase the understanding and development of the socially engaged arts.
The Journal of Arts & Communities encourages a wide range of contributions and contributors, including, but not limited to, the following: essays pursuing original lines of inquiry, raising challenging issues about the field, or documenting innovative work; interviews with practitioners or debates between practitioners and/or theorists; case studies of individual practices or projects, particularly those which have a broader
significance in relation to ongoing concerns in the field and those which provide opportunities for project participants to reflect upon their participation; photo-essays or other forms of project documentation; accounts of innovative training practices or approaches to evaluation and critical reflection; reports on conferences or proposals to publish more extended proceedings. Beyond our normal book review section, we also welcome proposals to discuss particularly significant publications which might merit fuller discussion.
