Tate Artist Rooms
Tate commissioned us develop a framework and supporting toolkit with resources to capture the impact of the new form of Artist Rooms. This framework will enable a better understanding of audiences, thedevelopmental impact on the touring exhibition for partners and provide Tate with insights to further develop this new model of packaged touring exhibitions.
The Evaluation Framework enabled Tate to:
- Define and capture evidence of change, giving them a deeper understanding of their impact
- Gather evidence of successes and challenges, enabling them and their partners to learn and grow the programme
- Provide materials to champion their work and advocate for their touring programmes
- Deliver high quality evidenced reports to funders and stakeholders
- Empower their Learning team to share their insights with partners and peers
This framework and methodology underpinned the key ambitions for Artist Rooms in enabling access to collections nationally. It supported exploring how working in partnership can enhance access to international artists, particularly for younger people.
Flow provided:
- Planning how it can be integrated and delivered by the Artist Rooms team into the package of resources provided to support partner venues
- Understanding current evaluation and any barriers to effective collection and analysis
- Creating a simple and useable toolkit for staff who are collecting evidence and requiring simple methods for analysing it
- Advising on how evidence collection can be integrated into visits to the exhibition, related programming and use of supporting resources
- Delivering training sessions with staff on using the framework and its tools
- Making recommendations for future evaluation plans
