The Arts Ecosystem Research Project has brought together arts management graduate students with over one hundred community practitioners in the first two years of a multi-year applied research initiative to gather, document, and analyze fifty years of the Seattle region’s arts and culture history. Qualitative research methods are being used by students to capture the lived experiences of those who created this rich ecosystem, analyzing lessons of the past to inform the future. Close collaboration with the University’s Library and a highly-respected diverse group of Community Advisors led to the development of a rigorous curriculum and the creation of a publicly-focused digital timeline and website linked to a permanent repository for student research. This experimental project has brought together the academic and practitioner communities, and is seen as opening up myriad opportunities for students, the University, and the regional arts sector.
