Abstract

One of the most exciting sea changes in the cultural sector in the last 10 years has been the proliferation of collaborations between academia, creative industries and the fine arts. This has created significant new opportunities to expand and explore what arts practice is and does, and how it operates in the world in terms of not just enrichment, social value and societal well-being but also innovation, industry and business. Collaboratively generating new artworks through the deployment and testing of new research, ideas and technologies in the public domain encourages a system that incubates new and emerging talent and provides knowledge, experience and development opportunities for all involved. Enabling industry experience for researchers offers key impact potential that demonstrates research excellence, and being able to access a new body of knowledge and skills enriches and deepens the innovation portfolio of the cultural organisation.
