In partnership with Creative Recovery Network, CAN launched the Creating Well collaborative research report which is the culmination of a four-year research project, designed to harness the experience and wisdom of the community arts and cultural development (CACD) sector’s leading practitioners to grow a deeper understanding of the specific support needs for community-based artsworkers.

The report presented six key recommendations and clarified the consistent challenges faced in community-based practice and calls for the sector as a whole to evolve towards new standards of practice and a framework to better support practitioners in high performance work environments.
