Community arts are potentially valuable tools in building community and regenerating
distressed neighbourhoods. Community-based art organizations exist in most major
cities across North America and abroad. These groups are concerned with social and
environmental community issues (e.g., youth poverty, sustainability, racism) and use art
as a medium for social change through community empowerment and personal
development. Many of these organizations operate on limited funding and are required
to complete program evaluations to demonstrate the merit of their programs. While
some program evaluation literature touches on the role of arts-based research methods,
very little focuses specifically on using these methods with community-based art
organizations—particularly organizations with programming intended for children and
youth. This Major Degree Project seeks to address this gap and explore the role of
creative, arts-based evaluation methods for community-based art organizations’
program evaluation.
