Center for Community Arts & Cultural Policy2018-05-292018-05-292006https://hdl.handle.net/1794/2326725 pagesThe University of Oregon's Institute for Community Arts Studies (ICAS) was established in 1965 by a founding gift from the Lila Wallace Foundation as a research and public service organization within the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. ICAS exists to promote and implement research, professional education, and community programs concerned with public participation, appreciation, and understanding of the arts. Toward this end, ICAS has supported such statewide research projects as the Community Arts Study Program (1966-1968), and the Study of Arts Education in the Community (1984- 1986). In 1995, the Institute established a renewed focus on community arts and cultural policy, in collaboration with the newly formed arts management graduate degree of the Arts and Administration Program (AAD). ICAS On-line, which consists of an electronic forum for discussion and dissemination of current community arts and cultural policy issues, Culture Work, a periodic broadside, as well as an Institute archive, were created. Opportunities now exist to re-envision ICAS as the Center for Community Arts and Cultural Policy (CCACP) - an interdisciplinary, regional research and development center dedicated to sustaining and strengthening the arts, culture, and heritage sectors of the West.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USCCACPICASOther
