Rethinking Relationships is a report from the first phase of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s Inquiry into the Civic Role of Arts Organisations. The report, which was produced following extensive research and collaboration with those working within the arts sector, highlights the extent and diversity of the civic role arts organisations are currently playing in the UK and further afield, and the positive impact they are having in communities.
These impacts are brought to life through a series of powerful and compelling examples of the difference arts organisations are making, such as musical performances in the Calais refugee camp that brought people together and lively cabaret shows for retired people with little access to affordable culture.
