The future of Artwork...
Currently Artwork has no funding for any further issues in its current format. The National editorial team consisting of Community Arts Network W.A.(CANWA); Queensland Community Arts Network (QCAN); Community Arts Network S.A. (CAN SA) and previously Community Cultural Development N.S.W. (CCDNSW) have been working tirelessly to bring you a journal that critically analyses the ccd sector, for just over five years. But Artwork has been around since 1988.

CAN SA is exploring options to continue Artwork so the journey has not ended but to be continued... ....

Artwork Issue 64
From 2000 to Today
From 2000 to today. The beginning of the century or the end of community cultural development (ccd) in Australia. We really do know that CCD won’t just end. Communities are strong, Culture is what we do and Development is inevitable. And the practice existed before it was named (some say by the Ozco others say by a couple of practitioners over a beer) and will continue whether it is called ... ccd, community arts, community partnerships, creative partnerships, creative communities, community arts and culture, arts for development, arts and society, artist for a pluralist society...to mention just a few being used around the world. It may, however, never exist again in the form that it has ... So ... this issue of Artwork marks the moment – the first years of the new millennium – with a celebration of the practice. We cannot cover all that has occurred but we can give a snap shot from each state and territory. A journal we can look back on in 10 years’ time and ponder that moment when...

'participation and engagement' - why bother?'
This issue asks the contributors to look at different layers of participation and engagement in CCD with the aim to create an argument which articulates that we must be bothered to engage and to participate.... either as individuals and /or collectives. why bother? because: Cultural context is essential in facilitating appropriate and adequate engagement strategies. why bother? because: Collective Art-Making is about co-creating and understanding local context why bother? because: city/town/place vitality depends on people's interaction and engagement with place why bother? because.... There is an implicit theme about barriers to participation but I think we must show the relevance to engage with all members of and types of communities rather than point to the barriers in themselves....

Artwork Issue 62
3D Symposium – Discuss – Document – Disseminate
3D, a symposium of artists working with communities, to develop an overview of current practices and discuss issues of development: community; professional and creative. Produced in collaboration with the National Editorial Committee and the 3D editorial team, this issue of artwork attempts to articulate and extend some of the discussions that took place, and the recommendations made during the 3D Symposium. The articles included identify certain issues of working in ccd which exist for many practitioners, artists, or artsworkers, whatever their practice. Enjoy this issue of Artwork, and as happens with each edition, we have set up an online forum on ccd.net to continue the discussion about issues raised. If you've not seen or used the site yet, it would be well worth your while to get online and register as member to not only receive regular national ccd updates but also contribute to the ongoing discussions.

Artwork Issue 61
Leadership and Activism
This issue examines some of the following:
* What do the terms Leadership and Activism mean in a current context? * It acknowledges that those working within the arts and cultural sectors have become very active since the OzCo restructure proposal was announced in December 2004 but asks if we have adopted a "policy of taking direct and militant action to achieve a political or social goal" which is a definition of activism.
* It also asks does ccd work always have elements of both leadership and activism.
* Is it inherent in the philosophy of ccd?
* How does this translate to action?
* And it also examines current leadership theory and practice in the context of the activism.
