Summary: The Social Impact of Arts Programmes' is Comedia's fourth major study of cultural policy, following research into libraries, parks and the creative city. It addresses key issues In contemporary arts practice, including the social purpose and value of participatory arts, through case studies and related research. The aim of the project is 'to develop a methodology for evaluating the social impact of arts programmes, and to begin to assess that impact in key areas’. This is being addressed by: a) Establishing a number of case studies to evaluate the social impact of specific programmes, and the assessment structures within which they operate. b) Reviewing existing literature on social impact in relation to arts programmes, alongside comparable thinking in other fields. c) Providing a background analysis of the value of arts programmes in achieving social outcomes more commonly targeted through other forms of intervention. d) Stimulating a debate around the social impact of arts programmes through the publication of working papers, and associated meetings and seminars. e) Publishing a comprehensive report outlining the findings of the research and proposing a workable methodology for the evaluation of the social impact of arts programmes. Following a feasibility study in Bolton, the programme includes studies In Nottingham, Glasgow, Portsmouth, Hounslow, Batley, North West Scotland and Finland as well as the research looking at the social impact of the creative use of digital technology described In the following pages.
