– Public Engagement in the Arts, 2012<\/p>\n

Created by the Canada Council for the Arts, Public Engagement in the Arts<\/a><\/strong> takes a close look at Canadian engagement and participation in the arts. This discussion paper examines different definitions of public engagement and motivations for this type of work. Public Engagement in the Arts includes an overview of Canadian and international cultural policies that relate to public engagement. The paper also considers current trends and potential barriers, and concludes with comments on the Canada Council’s role in shaping current and future developments in public engagement.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Many arts funders have longstanding commitments to equity of access to programs by artists and arts organizations; how are funders ensuring that the public also has access to content that is equitable in the sense of being from them and for them, without pandering or diluting the quality of the work?\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

This resource will be useful to anyone who is interested in exploring or defining concepts of community engagement and participation in the arts, and understanding the context for current funding practices in Canada.<\/p>\n
