The research confirmed findings of an earlier pilot project by the same
authors that suggested social practice, which is currently emerging as a very
significant part of the artistic landscape, suffers from lack of recognition and
support. It found that various creative organizations are active in the space,
but with an overall fragmentation in the sector that decreases internal capacity.
Further, it showed that the funding landscape for this area of practice is
largely unresearched and that respondents have a strong preference for an
artist-informed model that enables validation to happen through a flattened,
rather than hierarchical, organisational structure.
