Pilot arts course
The Christchurch Polytechnic and the Southern Regional Arts Council have joined forces to offer a new course in The pilot third term course “Introduction to Community Arts” aims to introduce community based workers to an alternative approach to the arts involving group and collective expression. The 10 week part time course will examine the
nature of art in society and the concept of group participation and control. Participants will have the opportunity of making their own video production. Course tutor Brett Riley describes the pilot course “as an attempt to approach participatory art at a community level without all the heavy fine art baggage which tends to relegate it to the bottom of the art cart.”
The Polytechnic course, he says, is the first of its type in New Zealand. A training programme for community art workers has recently been established in Australia. Enrolment for “An Introduction to Community Arts'” closes on September 5 with the Art and Community Studies Department at the polytechnic.
