The ‘Look Groups’ Network was a project led by Tate St Ives, taking place across Cornwall. Piloted from October 2009 to April 2010, the project represented a partnership between Tate St Ives and Cornwall Council. The ‘Look Groups’ network connected 21 hard to reach and remote communities with the purpose of enabling and facilitating face-to-face peer-led democratic dialogue around art; stimulated by Tate’s displays and learning resources, with an emphasis upon learner generated opinions and ideas through a traditional ‘book group’ model. This was enhanced by a Ning network for online learners. The project targeted communities across Cornwall (including learners and non-learners), with particular emphasis upon rural and coastal communities, addressing barriers to access and engagement through creative activities. The project reported improvement in participants’ wellbeing, art knowledge, digital literacy skills, confidence, employability skills and social skills.
