Research digest: The role of the artist in society

What do we know about the role of artists working in socially engaged ways, the value of this work, how they are funded and the different settings they work in?

This research digest explores the current evidence base around artists working in socially engaged practices. We have drawn out from the literature some key considerations to inform future practices and policymaking and have spotlighted potential pathways to a more equitable and inclusive cultural sector.
