The Polycrisis for Arts and Creative Education in Australia
The arts and creative sectors in Australia are facing unprecedented challenges. Since 2018 there has been a consistent reduction of available creative arts courses in Australian universities and in the TAFE sector, and a decline in enrolments in many senior secondary school arts subjects. The impacts of Job-Ready Graduates policy, introduced in 2020 and implemented from 2021, which substantially increased the cost of arts and creative courses, ha…
Engaging evaluation as a catalyst
Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM) is the Australia Council for the Arts key strategic engagement to develop national and international touring opportunities for Australian contemporary performing arts.

Pivots, arts practice and potentialities
Pre-dating COVID-19 it was widely acknowledged that there was a loneliness epidemic and that prolonged loneliness and reduced human touch results in increased propensity to heart disease, stroke and clinical dementia. Given such statistics, and the use of isolation and shielding as a health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative that creative projects or research investigations embed strategies to address the potential fragmentation …
The Social Impact of Creative Arts in Australian Communities
Understanding the value of the creative arts
This article highlights challenges of attempting to rigorously evaluate and meaningfully communicate the social impacts of arts and culture in regional Australia. By examining how arts and culture are perceived in two geographically opposed communities, this research finds the benefits of arts engagement can be tangible and intangible, and both offer high value to regional communities. More nuanced approaches to impact assessment can help to effe…
Measuring Impact
Arts culture organisations and funding authorities increasingly need to evaluate the impact of festivals, events and performances. Economic impacts are often privileged over 'soft data' about community experience and engagement. This new book offers a timely and scholarly demonstration of how cultural value and impact can be evaluated. It offers an innovative approach whereby the relationship developed between the researchers/evaluator and the co…
Measuring Impact
Communicating personal amnesty
Currently pathological and illness-centric policy surrounds the evaluation of the health status of a person experiencing disability. In this research partnerships were built between disability service providers, community development organizations and disability arts organizations to build a translational evaluative methodology prior to implementation of an arts-based workshop that was embedded in a strengths-based approach to health and well-bei…
Arts-Health intersections
The field of Arts-Health practice and research has grown exponentially in the past 30 years. While researchers are using applied arts as the subject of investigation in research, the evaluation of practice and participant benefits has a limited general focus. In recent years, the field has witnessed a growing concentration on the evaluation of health outcomes, outputs and tangential benefits for participants engaging in Arts-Health practice. The …
In the mouth of the imagination
In recent decades a number of Australian artists and teacher/artists have given serious attention to the creation of performance forms and performance engagement models that respect children's intelligence, engage with themes of relevance, avoid the clichés of children's theatre whilst connecting both sincerely and playfully with current understandings of the way in which young children develop and engage with the world. Historically a majority o…
