Social Impact of the Arts Project - University of Pennsylvania. The Social Impact of the Arts Project is a research center at the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy & Practice. SIAP conducts research on the role of arts and culture in American cities with a particular interest in strategies for arts-based revitalization.
Since 1994, SIAP has focused on developing empirical methods to stud the links between cultural engagement and community well-being. Over the past two years, with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation, SIAP has collaborated with The Reinvestment Fund in an exploration of the potential of arts-based regeneration strategies. For the collaboration, SIAP produced a critical review of the literature on culture and revitalization and three policy briefs. From Creative Economy to Creative Society This brief uses a social policy lens to look at the impact and potential of the creative economy for urban neighborhoods.

A literature review of the evidence base for culture, the arts and sport policy. This review of the social and economic impacts of culture, the arts and sport provides an overview and compendium of robust research evidence, both national and international, in these fields.
It creates a coherent social research evidence base to inform Scottish policy development and future investment in culture, the arts and sport, and also investment in wider policy areas which can achieve their objectives through initiatives employing culture, the arts and sport. The Review has highlighted gaps in evidence which, if addressed, should contribute significantly to a robust evidence base for all these policy areas. Evaluation Methodologies. Although practitioners in the CCD field clearly see the value of arts practice as a tool for reducing health and social inequalities, the evidence to support this is still emerging.
And while practitioners acknowledge evaluation as important, methods for gathering evidence vary greatly, and evaluation is not yet central to much community arts practice. Calls for more scientific approaches to evaluation point out limitations such as including reliance on anecdote, small sample size, limited hypothesis testing and a lack of longitudinal components. From an arts perspective, there is some scepticism about whether the true value of art and the artistic process can be measured by empirical means, and about the risks of narrowly measuring the arts as only an instrument of intervention, which may overlook other unexpected or intangible outcomes.
