Inquiry into the civic role of arts organisations

The Gulbenkian Foundation has embarked on a three year inquiry into the civic role of the arts in our communities, and through case studies, workshops and surveys of the sector have analysed the barriers and opportunities arts organisations face in playing a civic role.

The report on the first of three phases. The 1st phase: Rethinking Relationships, shows how the arts are providing places of learning, of debate, open spaces, places of tranquillity and of belonging. One of the case studies it cites is the Jungle, the Calais refugee camp where musical performances led to a cohesion and understanding in that most disparate of communities.
