Community Arts (Paperback)

The notion of community arts is not new in Australia. Indeed, it might be argued - as Martin Comte and David Forrest do in the opening chapter - that the precursors of community arts activities and centres go back to the nineteenth century. The contributors to this book - who represent leaders in the broad community arts field - provide insights into current practices, discuss a range of ongoing issues, and, in some cases, signal possible future directions.
