Diversity and Building Community

Thursday, June 21, 2007
Like most of Canada, the Lower Mainland is a cultural mosaic. But how do organizations reach beyond the boundaries of language, class and culture to engage new immigrants in the arts community?
ArtsConnect wanted to find out and with the help of Simon Fraser University's Action Research Exchange (ARX) program and 4th year student Sarah Gallagher, we made some fascinating discoveries. What follows is a brief summation of how we came to instigate this research, Sarah's subsequent findings, and how we've implemented these insights into the work we do.

Often arts councils and other community arts organizations are challenged as to how to effectively reach out to and include groups and communities not yet involved in the arts council programs and activities.
