The Alliance for Socially Engaged Arts has launched Constellations of Change, our landmark report that brings the socially engaged arts field into sharper focus. Celebrating the field’s diversity and far-reaching impact, the report makes a case for greater recognition, support and investment. It examines the impact and influence of socially engaged arts, explores the challenges and needs facing the field, and sets out a series of recommendations for policymakers and funders at local, national and EU levels to help create the conditions for the field to thrive.
To celebrate the launch, we hosted a webinar bringing together voices from across the field to explore the report’s key findings and recommendations in more detail.

Keynote reflection
Damien McGlynn, Director of Create and Alliance for Socially Engaged Arts Fellow, on the conditions required to strengthen and evolve the field, and to turn these insights into action, we have developed an advocacy toolkit to support practitioners, organisations, networks, funders and policymakers in using the report to strengthen advocacy efforts at regional, national and EU levels.
