Frameworks

Organisations that undertake ongoing evaluation of cultural community arts often use an evaluation framework. A framework forms the conceptual foundation and structure of the evaluation system, is underpinned by theories or principles and often includes different approaches. Frameworks can contribute to the methodological development of arts and health research.
