The
power of celebratory arts to engage and encourage the involvement
of people and communities cannot be underestimated. Many of
Spectral Arts projects are designed with the participants, often
local people, or a specific community. They can be used to
celebrate a communities identity, their heritage, the environment
or a special event.
Celebratory arts projects are most often participatory and the workshops and celebrations can involve huge numbers.
The many forms of celebratory arts, be they events, large scale collaborative art works, or performances are made accessible and public through festivals, carnivals, processions, installations and theatrical performances.
The workshops and large numbers of people involved can improve the profile of marginalised groups or issues, promote local pride and engender a sense of community.
