ACW Research and Evaluation Strategy
Summary
Research and evaluation is the foundation to policy and project development. It is essential that public funds are spent on activities that provide the greatest possible cultural, economic and social return. We need to be able to explain, clearly and accurately, the impact that our investment is having in achieving our priorities.

The Arts Council of Wales is experiencing a time of change and one of the main drivers of this change is the increasing demand for and value placed on data. The key to successfully meeting this challenge is to become flexible in our approach towards research and evaluation.

The ACW has access to wide variety of quality data. At the same time the quantity of information …show more content…

We must be able to demonstrate the public benefit that our work delivers, and the extent to which we’re helping to make Wales a better place to live and work.
We need to be able to explain, clearly and accurately, the impact that our investment is having in achieving our priorities of providing the greatest possible cultural, economic and social return.

The overarching Arts Council of Wales Research and Evaluation strategy sets out key principles needed to clearly and accurately explain the impact our investment is having both within Wales and internationally.
The Arts Council of Wales can meet the increasing demand for data by focusing on the key areas essential for producing quality statistics and evaluation.

Maximising the use of data – Data obtained and used by the Arts Council of Wales reaches maximum value by exploiting both internal and other data sources.

Shared methods – Data is obtained, used and disseminated by the Arts Council of Wales in a way which makes sharing and reusing easier. This includes harmonised standards, methods, processes and …show more content…

We do, however, need to do more to make the best use of all types of data, whatever its source. We will aim to take opportunities to be more innovative by exploiting existing sources of research and evaluation and explore opportunities to access and use new sources. We will work collaboratively both within the Arts Council of Wales and externally across the public and cultural sector to achieve this to better support decision making and to better meet user needs.
Data Collection
Data collection is simply how information is gathered. Varying methodologies of data collection can be applied such as personal interviewing, telephone, mail and the Internet. Dependant on survey design, these methods can be used separately or combined. While primary data collection provides a wealth of information on specified topics these means can prove costly and time consuming.
Existing data
Increased and more effective use of internal Arts Council of Wales data has the potential to reduce reliance on survey collections, which enables the minimisation of burden and costs. However, some Arts Council of Wales data is not collected for statistical purposes, so there is a need to develop systems and processes for rigorously auditing its quality and better understanding how it can be used for

The struggle wasn’t made any easier when there were debates over which style of art the museum should hold. “Some trustees strongly advocated continuing to collect the work of emerging contemporary artists while carefully culling the collection of its less outstanding holdings to finance new acquisitions.” The museum had to sell portions of their collection just to afford the new works of art, just in order to stay open. Faced with this same debacle, Mary Miley Theobald discusses a common business practice of museums that is essential to stay financially stable. Source D outlines the main source of income for art museums.

Apart from some years in the 1990’s and 2000’s where there were spending cuts to the Heritage and Arts sectors, funding for this sector has remained important to government. Most recently the announcement of “$53 million over the next two years to support Canada’s national museums and the national battlefield commission” (Zoria, 2023, pp. 10. This is a great boost to Canada’s Heritage sector. The sector that has faced significant challenges due to the digital revolution is that of cultural industries, specifically the radio broadcasting area.

Arts Board Application I believe that the arts are an essential part of any student’s curriculum. Not only does it enrich their lives, it teaches them skills such as the importance of practice and repetition in order to perfect their work; it teaches that perseverance and hard work shows in their creations; and that although mistakes are made, one can still make their mistakes into something great, as long as they don’t give up. This is why it’s important to have the arts represented in a school like Greenhill, where academics tend to be the main focus for many students. Other from ISAS and occasional concerts, students don’t often get to showcase their work to their peers. Too often during ISAS do students attend mostly Greenhill productions, and students who aren’t able to attend rarely see the hard work those in the Greenhill fine arts program put into their creations and performances.

With technology ever changing it is useful to explore digital and online resources as well as books and articles. Living where I do, I am fortunate to have so many heritage sites near me, from Leeds and Hever Castles in Kent to Hampton Court, Greenwich and the Tower of London. I currently volunteer for English Heritage at Eltham Palace, which I enjoy as I speak to visitors about the distant and recent history of the palace, as well as enjoying the regular speeches and events held there on historical subjects. Volunteering at the palace has vastly improved my confidence, and my ability to interact with different types of people from different backgrounds. I believe this will support my studies as it demonstrates my commitment to heritage and culture.

"Community engagement refers to the process by which community benefit organizations and individuals build ongoing, permanent relationships for the purpose of applying a collective vision for the benefit of a community.” Engaging the community is an essential task for museums to accomplish. In order to do so, the museums must “determine who those communities are, their needs, and how the museum can work with them to meet their goals”. As technology and the way people learn and communicate change, museums must evolve as well and accommodate exhibits in order to have the community fully engaged into what they are trying to convey in their museum.

This article refers to the criteria for determining whether works would or would not be likely to have significant effects on the environment set out in Annex III to the EIA Directive, as amended. The criteria, as per Schedule 7 of the Planning and Development Regulations are grouped under three headings: (i) Characteristics of Proposed Development, (ii) Location of the Proposed Development and (iii) Characteristics of Potential Impacts. Consent authorities must have regard to these criteria in forming an opinion as to whether or not a sub-threshold development such as the proposed development, are likely to have significant effects on the environment.
