The role of artists in learning communities°
This project aims to show best practise and raise awareness and understanding of the processes involved in successfully
negotiating and implementing public and socially engaged art. This will be achieved over three years and will involve
active participation of professional artists, arts educators, learners and staff from each organisation through a research
programme participatory contextual art projects, seminars and workshops. This partnership of higher educational
institutions and organisations engaged in contextual arts practice aims to:
• Develop strategic links between formal and non-formal education providers
• Conduct research into best practise in the domain of art and society and the developing role of the artist in this
context
• Develop quality criteria for maintaining and improving professional standards
• Be instrumental in combating social exclusion on a social and cultural level
• Identify models of good and innovative practice nationally and internationally
• Create a module descriptor that will accredit learning associated with project activities
• Promoting professional contextual arts practise through education, information and research
• Integrate different communities
• Provide opportunities for learning experiences in art and environment projects
