TAIP’s summer newsletter is an opportunity to reflect on the momentum that has been building across the partnership over the past few months. What began as a shared ambition to rethink how we understand and document the civic impacts of the arts is increasingly taking shape through new collaborations, rich conversations, and the collective energy of this extraordinary community.

On June 3rd, TAIP gathered in Montreal for our very first Arts Impact Summit! Hosted at Conseil des arts de Montreal, the summit brought together our co-leads for a collaborative day of strategic planning, workshopping, and community building. 

Dr. Natalie Harrower, TAIP co-applicant and Executive Director of the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN) has been awarded funding from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada to develop a national data space for researchers who work with sensitive social science data. CRDCN is Canada’s largest national research infrastructure serving social science researchers and this opportunity signifies a meaningful boost for the social sciences!
