Creating
Social Capital
A
study of the long term benefits from community
based arts funding.
Published
in 1995 this national research report by Deidre
Williams examines the long term benefits arising
from community based arts funding and details
how this funding generated significant returns
for the arts, along with substantial community
cultural development outcomes. Through the
analysis of a range of community based arts
projects around Australia the findings demonstrate
the substantial benefits of funding community
based arts practice. This study was the first
of its kind in Australia and to date there
have been two reprints due to continuing high
demand.

Fourth
Pillar of Sustainability
2001,
Fourth Pillar of Sustainability Culture's
essential role in public planning by Jon Hawkes
for the Cultural Development Network (Vic)
Cultural vitality is as essential to a
healthy and sustainable society as social
equity, environmental responsibility and economic
viability. In order for public planning to
be more effective, its methodology should
include an integrated framework of cultural
evaluation along similar lines to those being
developed for social, environmental and economic
impact assessment.

the history, methods, values and theories

of cultural minorities and the effects of
globalization.

Making
Waves Stories of Participatory Communication
for Social Change by Alfonso Gumucio Dagron
Published
in 2001, A Report to the Rockefeller Foundation.
"Capturing the essence of participatory
communication on paper is by definition an
illusive challenge. From the work I've witnessed,
helped direct, or just monitored during a
long career in communication, my observation
is that the most interesting work of a participatory
nature can often defy the written word. That
is, when reasonably talented writers or public
speakers try to explain what it is about this
work that is so captivating - and has the
potential to dramatcially improve lives -
ther words fall flat........" Foreword
by Denise Gray-Felder

Creative Community : The Art of Cultural Development
An
inspiring, foundational book that defines
the burgeoning field of community cultural
development. Through personal stories, rousing
accounts, detailed observation and histories,
Arlene Goldbard describes how communities
express and develop themselves via the creative
arts. This comprehensive, photographically-illustrated
book, which covers community-based arts such
as theater grounded in oral history and murals
celebrating cultural heritage, will appeal
to the curious non-specialist reader as well
as the practitioner and student. Author Arlene
Goldbard is one of the best-known authors
on community cultural development. Her seminal
books and essays are widely read in the U.S.
and other English-speaking countries -- among
them, Community, Culture and Globalization
and this book's antecedent, Creative Community.
