We need to talk about evaluation…

We are hearing a clear call for a profound shift in our shared understanding of evaluation. A shift to focus on learning over outcomes and to centre the experiences, values and viewpoints of the people and participants who are at the heart of the cultural activity.

Join us as we introduce our cultural evaluation principles, which have been co-created over the last year working with a group of cultural professionals including those who do evaluation, those who use it, and whose work is evaluated.

The principles are a sharing of ideas to inform how evaluation is carried out and used within the sector. They are very much the start of a conversation and they will evolve in response to feedback over the next year.

Chaired by Anne Torreggiani, we are delighted to be hosting short provocations from guest speakers including Kully Thiarai of Leeds 2023, Rishi Coupland from BFI, Kati Price from the V&A and Grace Bremner of Creative Civic Change alongside a local resident from one of the Creative Civic Change projects. Speakers will share their big picture thinking on what evaluation could look like in an ideal world. Dr Beatriz Garcia, Oliver Mantell and Vishalakshi Roy will introduce you to the evaluation principles and the process by which they were developed.

Who’s this event for?

This event is for cultural evaluation specialists, cultural sector practitioners interested in evaluation and funders.
