A New Model for Visual Arts Participation
2026

Summary

The AHRC-funded project, as part of the LUCIA programme, explores the visual arts as a socially engaged practice, developing a collaborative and equitable model that broadens participation and enriches urban culture. Working with the Local Government Association, the Contemporary Visual Arts Network, and other partner organisations, it produces a policy brief, framework and toolkits to strengthen visual arts practice across diverse spaces and scales, informing cultural policy and expanding inclusive participation from community studios to national funding programmes.
