The Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme (CAPP) was a four year project involving nine partner organisations from Ireland, Spain, the UK, Germany, Finland and Hungary. The overall goal of CAPP was to improve and open up opportunities for artists who are working collaboratively, enhancing mobility and exchange, whilst at the same time engaging new publics and audiences for collaborative practices. The partner network was made up of major art museums, like Tate Liverpool, Ludwig Múzeum Budapest and Kunsthalle Osnabrück, as well as smaller independent arts organisations such as Agora Collective in Berlin, hablarenarte in Madrid and m-cult in Helsinki. Major developmental agencies such as Live Art Development Agency in London, Heart of Glass in St Helens and Create, the national development agency for collaborative arts in Ireland (project lead), were also part of the CAPP partner network. CAPP explored collaborative art in its many forms. Working across visual arts, live art, theatre and performance, music and architecture, CAPP artists worked with children and young people, people with disabilities, Traveller and Roma communities, LGBT, senior people, neighbourhood residents and marginalised groups, among many others, to realise a series of art projects of varying scale and duration. The CAPP programme involved professional development workshops (CPDs) for artists in year one. These workshops were important learning opportunities for artists enabling them to extend their work and learn new ways of approaching community contexts. Year two offered residencies where CAPP partner organisations created opportunities for artists to be working in situ in community contexts for different periods of time. Commissions in year three were varied in form and scale, giving attention to and increasing awareness of the depth and breadth of collaborative arts.
In addition to these opportunities, CAPP presented a total of 57 public events to share projects and resulting work with a broader public, plus 5 international Staging Posts. An example of the latter being ‘Works in Process,’ presented by hablarenarte in Madrid which was a three day festival-type presentation of CAPP projects. This event showcased 14 CAPP projects in Sharing Processes exhibition and offered workshops, discursive events and tours of collaborative cultural initiatives to artists, cultural practitioners and the general public. The final culminating event ‘Practice and Power’ took place in Dublin, where the lead partner Create is based. ‘Practice and Power’ was a four day event which engaged with artists, curators, academics, activists and local partners as well as the entire CAPP network and associate artists. It explored questions of negotiation, representation, and power in collaborative arts. After four years, working with 652 artists, 9,140 participants and audiences of over 1,185,000, the project has resulted in greater visibility for community based collaborative arts practice, increased programming of collaborative arts by major cultural institutions, stronger international networking for artists, greater career opportunities and expanded audience numbers. Those audiences have engaged with CAPP as makers, project participants, community stakeholders and co-authors of artworks, thereby deepening their experience of the arts and in many cases, in particular for children and young people, introducing them to a wide variety of collaborative arts processes and methodologies for the first time. In 2019, the partner network will establish an Alliance for artists and arts organisations working in collaborative arts. The project has underlined values of cooperation, negotiation, care, learning, sharing and collaboration, which the partners and artists will carry forward into the major legacy of CAPP, which is to be the inaugural Triennial of Social and Collaborative Arts Practice to happen in 2021. |
