The book is a satisfying read that not only sheds new light on community arts and its offspring, participatory arts and socially engaged art, but that also offers new insights that are at times deeply personal and at other times more academic and theoretical. It may even encourage some artists and organisations to self-organise in new forms of community arts practices that offer real dissent. * ArtWorks Alliance *\u003cbr\u003e[An] incredibly rich collection of diverse narratives and perspectives on Community Arts over the past 50 plus years … A thoroughly researched academic and practitioners’ perspective on this often under-documented field of work. * Drama Magazine *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors Chapter 1:  Introduction, by Alison Jeffers (University of Manchester, UK) Part 1 Chapter 2:  The British Arts Movement 196801986, by Alison Jeffers Chapter 3: Community Arts - a forty-year apprenticeship: A view from England, by Gerri Moriarty (artist) Chapter 4:  Craigmillar Festival, the Scottish Community Arts Movement of the 1970s and 1980s and its impact: A view from Scotland, by Andrew Crummy (artist) Chapter 5:.The Pioneers and the Welsh Community Arts Movement: A view from Wales, by Nick Clements (artist) Chapter 6: Grown from shattered glass: A view from Northern Ireland, by Gerri Moriarty Part 2 Chapter 7:  Memories, Dreams, Reflections: Community Arts as Cultural Policy: the 1970s, by Oliver Bennett (University of Warwick, UK) Chapter 8:  Training and Education for Artists: The impact of ideas in the 1970s and 1980s on the training of artists today, by Mark Webster and Janet Hetherington (Staffordshire University, UK) Chapter 9:  From Community Arts to the Socially Engaged Arts Commission, by Sophie Hope (Birkbeck, University of London, UK) Chapter 10:  Cultural Democracy, Developing Technologies and Dividuality, by Owen Kelly (Arcada University, Finland) Chapter 11: Conclusion, by Alison Jeffers and Gerri Moriarty Endnotes Bibliography Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084827291991,"sku":"9781350094888","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781350094888.jpg?v=1762207287","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/culture-democracy-and-the-right-to-make-art-the-british-community-arts-movement-9781350094888","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
