Abstract

The purpose of this research is to provide information on the best practices of innovative community engagement at contemporary performance institutions. Through a comparative case study, this project explores the process and inferences of broadening curatorial methods of community members. Each case study describes the process and implementation of an innovative community engagement project, and the theoretical implications of inclusion and audience development. This study serves to provide information about innovation community engagement programming for arts administrators to consider when seeking to develop increased audience engagement within their geographic community.
