Abstract
The UK's arts & cultural sector is thriving: it contributes 674,000 jobs and £11.8bn per annum to the economy and remains one of its fastest growing sectors (DCMS, 2018). Yet despite this strong economic performance and its world-leading reputation for quality, the sector consistently fails to comprehend, capture and convey its values in a compelling way. This is partly because it suffers from structural problems including a lack of diversity, skills gaps (especially in data analysis & digital engagement), poor research & evaluation skills, and significant under-investment in training and R&D. These issues hinder its innovation and resilience and compromise its ability to make a coherent and compelling case for investment to key stakeholders, including private donors, corporate sponsors and HM Treasury, and to cognate sectors such as health & education. So we will dedicate resources to training/developing sector practitioners and students (FE/HE/PGR) in key areas of need including data analysis, audience/participant research, research-driven evaluation and storytelling.
This proposal has been conceived by a genuinely national consortium comprising world-leading universities & sector partners. These partnerships will enable the Centre to quickly tap into existing networks and gain ready access to different types & sizes of arts/cultural organisations from all over the UK. The Centre will be delivered in a collaborative way that draws on the complementary expertise of its core & affiliate members and harnesses this in a strategic way to maximise the potential of its activities. Based partly on the findings of the Cultural Value Project, the Centre's priority themes will comprise: diversity & inequality, public impact, health & wellbeing, place-making, culture-led regeneration, civic engagement, cultural democracy, co-creation & participation. These themes will be prioritized in our calls for £200k seed funding and reflected in our events. The aim of the events is to stimulate fresh thinking on key themes related to cultural value & engagement and communicate this beyond the sector.
The Centre will deliver the following 20 knowledge exchange events over 5 years:
1. Scoping Event 1 (Creative workshop, Opera North/DARE, Leeds)
2. Scoping Event 2 (Open Space event, British Library, London)
3. Launch (Leeds Town Hall)
4. Arts impact evaluation (Creative workshop, U. of Liverpool)

Planned Impact
Questions of impact lie at the core of our vision because the overarching aim of the Centre is to bring diverse groups together to stimulate reflective cultural practice, research-driven cultural management, and evidence-based evaluation. A related aim is to share and disseminate the outcomes of this good practice in a systematic and compelling way across and beyond the sector. The intended impacts of this activity are ultimately to enhance the professional skills of arts & cultural practitioners and exert a positive influence on public opinion, funding, philanthropy and policymaking. So we will engage with artists, cultural managers & leaders, marketers, learning, outreach & education officers, curators, producers & programmers to exchange ideas and disseminate best practice. These core beneficiaries will develop their engagement, research & evaluation skills and extend their professional support networks beyond established silos.
Arts and cultural organisations often miss opportunities to maximise the value & impact of their work with their audiences and wider communities. This is largely because they often fail to engage their audiences/participants in interpretive and sense-making activities and thus to capture meaningful impact. Brown & Ratzkin (2011) maintain that facilitating audience preparation and post-processing heightens artistic exchange, culminating in an "impact echo". One of the core impacts of the Centre's activities is thus likely to be documented evidence of enhanced cultural impact, alongside increased awareness and skills regarding the most effective ways of capturing this impact. So while the Centre's core beneficiaries are likely to be arts & cultural organisations themselves, their audiences/participants will benefit from enhanced opportunities for meaning-making made possible by CPD in techniques of audience engagement. Likewise, if the Centre realises its ambition to influence policymaking in areas of education, health & social care, and international development, then school pupils and the general public will reap benefits via increased provision for arts education, arts therapy & participation, and via the strategic adoption of the arts & culture to bring fractured communities together, heal social wounds, and resolve conflicts. There is strong and mounting evidence to support increased public funding in all of these areas. The Centre will harness this disparate evidence to co-produce powerful tools & arguments that will empower the sector to make its case in a more compelling way, underpinned by rigorous research.
The Centre will co-create an accessible online portal and co-design useable tools & resources for the sector. It will broker & facilitate cross-sector discourse & collaboration. The ultimate impact of the Centre will be to create new knowledge and a shared understanding and acceptance of the diverse processes, values and impacts of culture via a more rigorous and systematic approach to impact narration and evaluation. This in turn will enable cultural funding bodies (including NGOs & DCMS) to make a more robust case to HM Treasury for increased funding, for example by evidencing the health/wellbeing benefits of arts & cultural activity through established & emerging methods. In this era of dwindling public funding, especially at local government level, the sector urgently needs to become more resilient. By generating a deeper understanding of how to calculate the social and economic impact of arts & cultural activity, the Centre will play a vital role in shoring up local, regional and national support for public investment and provide powerful case studies to maximise arts & cultural funding in local councils. At the same time, by sharing best practice on how to tell the most compelling stories of impact, the Centre will boost fundraising and philanthropic giving, which will culminate in a more financially sustainable sector and in increased artistic & cultural provision.

| Description | As of May 2022, halfway through the Centre's 5-year funded period. The Mid-Term Review indicated that the Centre has completed its work on culture, health and wellbeing, along with its major (and unplanned) research into the impact of Covid-19. Our research digests on health and wellbeing have been accessed over 2,700 times. The Covid-19 report "Culture in crisis" was presented to an online conference with over 300 delegates, and has now been accessed over 7,500 times. We have launched the co-created Evaluation Principles and began developing the MOOC through which the Evaluation Principles will be embedded in sector practice and we are in discussions with Arts Council England about rolling these out across the sector. We also launched the Collaborate Fund and that has received nearly 150 expressions of interest from the cultural sector and academics. The Centre has built a reputation with policymakers as a trusted source of real time information about Covid-19 impacts and is preparing to build that reputation further with new research on 'cultural participation' and 'place and identity' which are at the heart of Government policy around geographic inequality. We presented a set of policy recommendations in the Houses of Parliament in May 2022 and we were invited to discussions with lead analysts in the Cabinet Office's assessment unit. We led a major piece of real-time research into the impacts of Covid-19 which, although not part of its original plans. The Covid-19 research created an interest for policy-relevant evidence from the cultural sectors within DCMS. A report was published setting out 12 key recommendations and this was launched in the Houses of Parliament on May 19th with a response from the Arts Minister Lord Parkinson. We built a follower network of 4,300 newsletter subscribers, 1,100 LinkedIn followers, and a Twitter audience of over 6,500, which is beginning to function as a community of practice. The Centre established 23 new research partnerships via the Covid-19 research, Making Data Work project, and the Collaborate Fund. |
| Exploitation Route | The Centre's policy influence will also require new policy-relevant content and outputs from the 'Participation' and 'Place' research as well as new primary research. For example there are obvious aspects of the Participation and Place research which will be relevant to the levelling-up agenda and economic growth. Many stakeholders are interested in the evaluation principles, particularly around the approach the Centre took to their development. The Mid-Term Review indicates that the Centre is beginning to shape evaluation practice in the cultural sector and is delivering content on topics which are of practical use. |
| Sectors | Culture, Heritage, Museums and Collections |
| Description | Covering our core themes of Culture, health and wellbeing and Cultural participation, the Centre has published six research digests and one vision paper to date. The digests enable practitioners and policymakers to easily access insights from a range of academic and sector-based studies of what works and where there are clear gaps in the evidence base. There is emerging evidence that the research digests are having an impact on fostering a culture of reflective practice and creating change on the ground. For example: ? English Touring Opera are using the findings of the Research Digest: Young People's Mental Health to guide the development of a new programme based around lyric writing. ? National Academy for Social Prescribing (NASP) and Independent Age are drawing on findings from the Research digest: Older People: Culture, community, connection to develop a new programme to support social prescribing for older people. The Collaborate fund, supporting research partnerships between cultural sector practitioners and academics, has demonstrated significant cultural sector interest in engaging with research. The fund is designed to overcome common challenges to effective collaborative working between academic and cultural sector partners and this model has already been emulated by York St John University to deliver their own Community Research Grant programme. The Collaborate projects are achieving benefits for both the academic and sector partners and piloting innovative methodologies for exploring cultural value. "Designing workshops and carrying out interviews is very different from the traditional methodology for optical biomaterials, I see collaboration outside of my discipline as being really beneficial, because I think the more you embed what you do within the wider world, the more interesting and meaningful it is. It feels like a really productive collaborative relationship." (Dr Rox Middleton, University of Bristol). "It brings different perspectives, experiences and voices into the conversation. It really grounds research work in real-world challenges. The research is actually addressing questions that have value outside the academic sphere." (Dr Michelle Phillips, Royal Northern College of Music). "The methodology has demonstrated a highly productive way of accessing a community's connection to their surrounding environment - which is opening questions of people's relationship with places and the contemporary policy issues surrounding sustainability, and legacy of co-creation" (Dr Lauren Hall, York St John University). The need for better understanding of the impact and value of culture is a global challenge and the Centre is increasingly being recognised by international partners as a leader in this field of research. Together with Mass Culture Canada, the Centre is collaborating on a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Canada application to create a Community-Driven National Framework for Creative Impact based in Toronto. The Centre has also developed relationships with the University of Aarhus, the Danish Cultural Policy Network, Applaus, and the Danish Chamber of Commerce to share research on arts and health and regional data and develop an international cultural policy network. Working with Trinity College Arts and Humanities Research Institute Dublin, the Centre has engaged with academics, practitioners and policymakers with national and international perspectives on cultural value and cultural evaluation to lead discussions on how research in this field can inform cultural policy development. The Director has been invited to Chile in November by the Ministry of Culture to discuss the business model of the Centre for Cultural Value. As a result of leading a national co-creation exercise, the Centre for Cultural Value has launched the UK's first Evaluation Principles for culture. As well as emphasising a more purposeful approach to evaluation, by explicitly focussing on practice that is transparent, ethical, empathetic and socially engaged, the Evaluation Principles reflect the vital role of rigorous evaluation in supporting restorative practice and cultural democracy and shaping a more robust evidence base. The Centre is now beginning discussions with Arts Council England about how the Evaluation Principles and our resources on evaluation can be used to support organisations to evidence their progress against the Investment Principles. |

| Impact | The Centre is generating impressive levels of engagement with content designed to make research more accessible: research know-how, research summaries, and in-depth articles. The recently launched Cultural Evaluation Principles have also been well received. A segment of the Centre's audience is now coalescing into a core of around 1,000-1,200 active engagers. For evidence-minded practitioners the Centre's work provides practical help and validation of their own practice as well as an opportunity to become part of a community of practice. The growing core of engagers, combined with the Centre's plans to deliver a MOOC, and create a peer learning network provides further potential to mobilise followers (practitioner, academic, and policy) as communities of practice which contribute to the Centre's goals and amplify its effectiveness. Whilst still in the early stages of development, we found an interest in the evaluation principles amongst those stakeholders that we spoke with, particularly around the approach that the Centre took to their development which was viewed as genuinely collaborative with practitioners. |

| Title | Engaged Research Process |
| Description | In our approach to developing research outputs and have implemented an engaged research process, working more collaboratively and iteratively with policymakers and the cultural sector on both the definition of the research sub-themes and interpretation and dissemination of findings. This enables us to develop research review questions that we can find answers to in the literature. Once we have drafted a research digest, it is reviewed and commented on by an expert in that area of research and practice so that our own methods can be appraised and remain as transparent as possible. Finally we review our digests annually to take into account any relevant new research. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | We publish reviews on our resource hub, share them in newsletters and host webinars where the findings and recommendations for future research can be discussed from a variety of perspectives. We also share any policy recommendations with relevant funders and policy makers. |

| Title | Evaluation principles |
| Description | As a result of leading a national co-creation exercise, the Centre for Cultural Value has launched the UK's first Evaluation Principles for culture. As well as emphasising a more purposeful approach to evaluation, by explicitly focussing on practice that is transparent, ethical, empathetic and socially engaged, the Evaluation Principles reflect the vital role of rigorous evaluation in supporting restorative practice and cultural democracy and shaping a more robust evidence base. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | The Centre has built the Evaluation Principles into the evaluation frameworks for Leeds 2023, the National Theatre's Public Acts and Speak Up programmes, as well as embedding them into all funded Collaborate projects. This will provide case studies of their application in a range of contexts and lead to a REF Impact Case Study. A successful programme of Evaluation Principles in Practice workshops has been delivered and this has informed the development of a MOOC due to launch in Summer 2023, which will support cultural sector practitioners to better capture the difference their work makes to people and communities. |

| Title | YARN/ Valuing Culture |
| Description | We developed the existing online storytelling platform YARN to provide an engaging, user-friendly, online hub to enable members of the public to upload personal stories of cultural experiences and everyday creativity during the pandemic. This quantitative data is searchable using common criteria including date, geography (country/region/city), venue, production/event, key participants (e.g. actors, artists, directors) and art form. The data is building to form a living archive of individual experiences of cultural value. As part of our work with Leeds 2023, the Centre is further piloting this as a tool to support methodological challenges of capturing and communicating how different people directly experience mass cultural events and what that means in terms of individual and social perceptions of cultural value. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | YARN is still used by the Centre for Cultural Value to collect evidence of individual experiences of cultural value. It has the potential to be adopted by a range of arts, cultural and community organisations of all shapes and sizes as a tool to support audience engagement and gathering of data to evaluate the cultural value of their work. Working with The Audience Agency we are exploring ways in which it can become a tool to capture and analyse qualitative audience data in a range of contexts. |

| PI Contribution | The Centre has developed and uploaded 27 unique resources to CultureHive to this growing collection. The Centre's work with the AMA has led to the development of funding bid to Esmee Fairbairn. This funding bid is once confirmed will support the development of a dedicated new microsite to support meta-analysis of existing evaluation reports and case studies synthesised by a dedicated new Research Assistant. This will be hosted on a newly created online platform which will ensure a wide range of practitioners, researchers and policymakers are better able to access and engage with evaluation findings. This will provide a powerful resource for professional learning and enhance the research and evidence base that the Centre has already been building. Aligning with the Centre's existing and emerging research themes, initial work will focus on place-shaping and the impacts of Cities of Culture. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Arts Marketing Association have developed of a new section of their knowledge hub CultureHive to help create a better understanding of cultural value and access to research and micro-learning tools for the cultural sector designed to keep sector professionals up-to-date with current thinking and practice and to build skills in research development, evaluation and critical reflection. |

| PI Contribution | Co-designing policy recommendations and modelling iterative and collaborative ways of working through the research process over a longer period (as opposed to more intense engagement after the fact) |
| Collaborator Contribution | Culture Commons have provided additional capacity and expert support to develop and disseminate policy briefings, consultations and a national cultural policy network, sharing research and utilising their knowledge and policy contacts. They have also supported the development of Research England Policy support funding bids which have led to recruitment of a policy officer role for the Centre. |
| Impact | The Centre has co-hosted policy events with Culture Commons, including presenting policy recommendations to the M11 elected mayoral network, and hosting an event with Lord Parkinson, Minister for Arts and Heritage in the Houses of Parliament in May 2022. Resulting from this, the Centre has been invited to discussions with lead analysts in the Cabinet Office's Assessment Unit and the Communications and Digital Select Committee and been engaged to provide expert review on the Department for Communities report of the Culture, Arts and Heritage Recovery Taskforce. The model of collaborative working through the research process over a longer period (as opposed to more intense engagement after the fact) is now the model Culture Commons has adopted for all engagement with HEI's going forward. To this extent, Culture Commons' and the Centre for Cultural Value are now setting the bar for best practice when it comes to policy engagement partnerships. Culture Commons has also been able to use this collaboration to understand the needs of the HEI and research sectors better, which will enable them to open up new research partnerships in future. |

| Results and Impact | Our website www.culturalvalue.org.uk was launched in October 2020. A micro site for the Covid-19 research project is integrated into the Centre's website. The microsite is the primary avenue for sharing Covid -19 research findings as they emerged which was achieved through regular release of blogs and articles with each item reaching hundreds of unique clicks in the days following release. These blogs allowed us to share insights to help inform cultural sector audiences, and zero in on specific issues from specific sub sectors. This included the impact on jobs in the creative workforce, the adoption of digital practices in the sector, and insights from place-based cultural activities. During this award we have published over 25 articles in this way between October 2020 and March 2022. 29,264 users, 47,288 sessions, 84,503 page views from launch til 28 Feb 2022 |

| Results and Impact | Reflecting Value's aim is to facilitate a reflective space for sharing successes and challenges associated with communicating cultural value, bringing together a range of new voices for discussion, debate and reflection. Each series focuses on practitioners understanding and interpreting different aspects of the research findings of the Centre's key research themes- Series 2 Cultural Participation Episode 1The digital (r)evolution?- explores the different ways that cultural organisations and practitioners use the digital to engage with audiences. We explore the role of Tik-Tok in growing engaged audiences; how the digital can help build connections with communities at a hyper-local level; and the ways in which African communities are taking back ownership of their heritage through the process of digitisation. Episode 2 Who holds the power?-explores the power dynamics that underpin cultural participation and research. We discuss how where you live can impact on how you engage with culture and how authentic participatory research can help bring to the fore the voices of people who have previously gone unheard. Episode 3 Gaming as Culture- explores the cultural experiences people have through playing video and board games. We talk to experts about the social value of gaming and the ways in which gaming design and culture can lead different communities to feel excluded. Episode 4 Learning through crisis- this episode is hosted by Anna Woolf from London Arts Health Forum who explores the impacts of the pandemic on practitioners and the people they work with. Daniel Regan and Bablu Miah join Anna to reflect on their pandemic experiences, discussing what they will take forwards in their practice and what they will leave in the pre-pandemic world. Episode 5-Physically distant, socially connected-This episode is hosted by Lewis Hetherington of National Theatre of Scotland who brings together six people who have been participants in creative work during the pandemic. The group explores their experiences of taking part in creative activity during the pandemic, and the positive impacts it had on them while in lockdown. |

| Results and Impact | Covering our core themes of Culture, health and wellbeing and Cultural participation, the Centre has published six research digests and one vision paper to date. The digests enable practitioners and policymakers to easily access insights from a range of academic and sector-based studies of what works and where there are clear gaps in the evidence base. There is also emerging evidence that the research digests are having an impact in fostering a culture of reflective practice and creating change on the ground. |

Tell us how we could help to increase the ambition and quality of evaluation in the cultural sector and other issues we could support the sector with Share feedback on our proposed model and themes Collaborate with us and find out about opportunities to try new methods of understanding and capturing the differences arts and culture actually make. Discuss how we could work together to support an evidence-based approach to national and local policymaking. Ask questions and listening carefully, and will incorporate feedback into our final model and activity. The events fostered active engagement and debate and led directly into the final scoping and planning for the Centre. |
