Introduction
Founded in 2008, ArtBridges is a hub and forum for connection for anyone interested in or active in community-engaged arts and arts for social change in Canada. ArtBridges informs people about and connects them with community-engaged arts initiatives. ArtBridges aims to improve access to arts and art-making for Canadians.
In December 2013, ArtBridges received a 3-year grant from the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation. Part of the grant funding was designated to conducting a comprehensive evaluation of ArtBridges. As such, an external evaluator, Radha Nayar of Nayar Consulting, was contracted to conduct an evaluation in the summer of 2014. This report provides the results of the evaluation in Year One. It also includes recommendations for further actions that ArtBridges can explore.
