Project Evaluation and Reflective Practice
Join us for a lunchtime sharing event for arts practitioners in Herefordshire as part of the Creative Health in Herefordshire Arts Practitioner Network Sharing Series.
Creative Health in Herefordshire Arts Practitioner Network Sharing Series is an informal sharing and networking event for artists and creative practitioners living and working in Herefordshire, with an interest in creative health and wellbeing practice.
For our fourth event in the series, we’re delighted to be collaborating with Our Place Leominster, with Dominic Harbour and Nicola Murray-Fagan joining us to explore themes of creative evaluation and reflective practice through an interactive and inclusive discussion.
Traditional evaluation often feels like a chore, with dry forms, boring surveys and rigid tick-boxes that can kill the creative momentum.
Curator Dominic Harbour and Community Project Manager Nicola Murray-Fagan will reflect on the ways that current Our Place Leominster artists are championing creative evaluation and reflective practice to drive continuous growth, support their own wellbeing and spark innovative breakthroughs in their projects.
Join us to consider how evaluation needn’t be a post-mortem autopsy of your work, but rather can offer a chance to be even more active and insightful, making evaluation an exciting extension of the creative process itself.
Whether you’re experienced in project evaluation or just beginning to explore how reflection can support your creative work, this session offers an opportunity to learn from others and consider new approaches to your own practice.
