‘What stands Shea Debnam Associates out amongst

many other arts consultants is their ability to clearly communicate with a range of partners from different sectors (written reports and verbal) and [that they] are both very

approachable’

Evaluations, Audits & Feasibility Studies

 

 

We offer expertise in identifying and appraising the impacts of cultural projects and programmes or testing the feasibility of creative, business, operational or capital plans.

 

We can provide packages of advice or support to meet your needs; from Initial Guidance in setting-up robust evaluation frameworks, to conducting Longitudinal Reviews.  We offer experience in evaluating arts and cultural programmes against public health, community development, education or young people's service agendas.   

 

We can help you undertake strategic sector Research, Audits, Reviews or to conduct formal Feasibility Studies to test the reach of programmes or lay the foundations for future policy or investment. 

 

 

 

We are currently evaluating the two-year 'Raising the Game' programme for ARC, Stockton on Tees and its aims to increase the amount and quality of theatre and spoken word created and performed in the NE region and to support the cross fertilization of ideas, skills and professional practice between performing artists and companies across the country.

 

Through 2009 we worked with Loop Dance Company in Kent to deliver a detailed evaluation of their 2-year Big Lottery-funded LoopEd professional dance initiative, which focused on the identification of creative, social and healthy-living outcomes for disadvantaged young people.

    During 2009 we undertook a detailed operational review and economic impact study for Arts Council England, South East on ‘Caravan’, the international showcase and professional development initiative for performing arts companies engaging in international exchange.

     

    In 2009 we worked with Creek Creative on a feasibility study into the development of a new practitioner-led studios, gallery and café complex in Faversham, Kent, that included detailed business and financial planning alongside advice on capital infrastructure development.
