Furthering the field of Socially Engaged Practice. 

Take A Part's role is to bridge the gap between large-scale strategy and policy and make it relevant and actionable to where communities are and their needs - and always, always, always through arts and culture. 

We collaborate with local communities, local authorities, cultural organisations, VCSEs etc to create the structures for decision making (governance) and then work collaboratively with communities to resource that ambition, to co-produce and co-manage projects - so communities and partners learn the skills to continue to change-make together.  Forever. 

Central to this is the development and application of Socially Engaged Arts practice (SEA).  An art form where collaboration, challenge, dialogue, agreement (and disagreement) is part of the process of collective creation. 

As leaders in the field of SEA, we at Take A Part are committed to testing new approaches, paying attention to the national and global frameworks it exists in, developing new applications and sharing and developing practice. 

We pay attention to what SEA and its application DOES when developed within communities, what OTHERS are doing in the community building and place-making spaces, and what the wider cultural sector NEEDS to work more closely with the SEA art form and communities of practice. 

We take our learning and support the sector - artists, producers, organisations, local authorities etc to work strategically, ethically and purposefully in a values-driven way to ensure that our cultural sector is representative, responsive, robust and resilient to the rapidly changing landscape and the people that live within it.
