From Network to Meshwork Executive Summary | Page 23
*
By way of conclusion, the report suggests that in the short term, these
recommendations be the subject of further consultations which could take
the form of:
• smaller organizations such as Axisweb,
Social Art Network and others being funded
through national sponsorship to develop
communities of practice via all or some
of the suggestions outlined above (e.g.
journal, artist development, research,
networking, skills development etc.);
• funding bids developed by researcher / social
practice partnerships to tackle issues on
which we currently have only anecdotal or
limited evidence – for example levels, types
and extents of funding supporting social
practice; models of best practice for social
practice artist development;
• a partnership of artists, communities of
practice and influencers (e.g. ACE, NHS,
LAs, charitable foundations) to consult on
the report recommendations via artist-led
deliberative enquiry.
