EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 18
*
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.
