THE ART OF ENGAGEMENT

Initiated by pioneer of social practice and community arts Dr. Loraine Leeson, the Art of Engagement is a research project that explores how the teaching of social practice can be improved for arts practitioners through partnership between cultural and higher education institutions.

With a research grant from Arts and Humanities Research Council, the project pivots on a collaborative exchange focused on teaching socially engaged art between the Queens Museum, the Tate Modern‘s education department, Middlesex University London, and Social Practice CUNY. As a partnership between cultural and educational institutions, the research activities have involved planning meetings, workshops, symposia, and in-person exchange trips.
