“Potential is stunted when an endpoint is formulated in advance” Rinaldi

How do we design high quality creative encounters? We all have diverse and personal approaches to planning and designing, as such it is a recurrent topic in our learning exchanges. Here we have documented approaches and common elements of designing.

Access

How do we design creative encounters that promote inclusion for broad participation and audiences; that connect to diverse communities; and allow meaningful access to people of all ages and abilities? Here we share our insights and resources.

Documentation

How much do we document and for what purposes? How do we refine our processes of documenting to capture what we need and what are the range of tools and methods that we use.

Partnerships

Partnerships are key to successful projects. To quote one of our early provocateurs, Jade Lily in “the relationship is the project”. What are the key elements of good partnering for positive outcomes?

Reflection

Reflection is essential to learning. As professional artists we are constantly reflecting in order to fine tune and extend our ways of practicing. We have worked on a list of key questions that we use personally and in group critique that we find helpful.

Here are some templates for ArtELIER artists to help design, plan and document Learning Exchanges.
