Community art
Many arts organizations in the United Kingdom do community-based work, which typically involves developing participation by non-professional members of local communities.As the field diversifies and practices are adopted by various organizations from multiple disciplines, ethics and safety have become a concern to practitioners.Community theatres range in size from small groups led by single individuals that perform in borrowed spaces to large permanent companies with well-equipped facilities of their own.[6] Community-engaged dance generally focuses on exploration, creation and relationship building rather than technical skills development.These community-based art centers or nonprofit organizations are at the forefront of bringing emotional and physical wellness to the communities they reside in.[9] One of the most important aspects of a program offered at an art institution or nonprofit organization is that it provides the participant with a stress free and fun experience.One non-profit organization aimed at helping underprivileged communities and families is "Free Arts for Abused Children" out of Los Angeles.
