Congratulations to Crafts Council UK & Prof Natascha Radclyffe-Thomas 💋💙 GCU London, who have been nominated for a London Higher award for their Centre-funded collaborative research project exploring the cultural value of craft.
Great to hear Amy Finch from Spirit of 2012 call for funders to deprioritise the evaluation of cultural events in terms of justifying their funding and instead to prioritise local context & learning - perfectly aligned with our Centre for Cultural Value Evaluation Principles!
Stellar panel including Neelands Jonothan Kully Thiarai. & brilliantly chaired by our Associate Director Beatriz Garcia problematising the evaluation of cities of culture - who do we mean by “we” & can “measuring things” ever really capture the impact felt by all key stakeholders?
Today, the Centre’s Ben Walmsley, Beatriz Garcia & Anna Kime will be Bradford 2025 “Here today, gone tomorrow – major events and why we do them”, with Beatriz chairing a session bringing together leaders in data, research and evaluation to discuss evaluating major events.
Vital work by Dr Cara Courage on interrelationships between Universities, arts/cultural ecologies and placemaking. Really important findings on power dynamics and warnings of the dangers of ‘co-washing’ in place-based collaboration. Great to feed into this through Centre for Cultural Value
The Centre's Anna Kime and Ben Walmsley have contributed a think piece to this new series from Local Government Association (LGA) considering how we can put people and communities at the heart of cultural policymaking.
