Person-centered Arts Practices

Person-centered Arts Practices with Communities is an approach in facilitating and evaluating arts programmes based on community needs.

Pitched across the Personal, Social, Cognitive and Cultural dimensions, person-centered arts practices identifies areas of strength and growth for the participants of any arts programme.

Pedagogy and Framework

Person-centered Arts practices with Communities as a pedagogical approach was developed by Dr. Felicia Low after 15 years of practice, and 3 years of research which was supported by the National Arts Council, Singapore.

This pedagogical approach encourages artist-facilitators and organisations to develop activities and evaluation methods which map out how participants can be supported across their personal, social and cognitive dimensions. It also demands an aspect of recognition of the community’s cultural traits, in programme development and evaluation. In this way, arts programmes with communities will be planned and evaluated based on the unique qualities of each community group. The 4 dimensions can be used to better understand the strengths and needs of individuals within each group.
