RESONANCE CREATIVE CONSULTING PARTNERS is a resource for organizations looking for new ways to gather and circulate evidence about the value of their work with communities.

Founded in 2006, we combine hands-on experience with research to illuminate, interrogate and expand on current evaluation practices in the fields of community development and community-engaged art.

Resonance is a collaboration between Margo Charlton and Loree Lawrence. Together, we have over forty years of experience as artists, facilitators and program coordinators in the fields of community-engaged art and grass-roots community development. We have worked with diverse communities throughout Canada and presented at national and international events in the United States, Britain, Greece, Nicaragua, Panama, Cuba and Brazil.

Resonance has developed evaluation-as-process, an integrated, creative, participatory approach to documentation, reflection and evaluation that engages program participants, community arts organizations, community developers, urban planners and funders in building their evaluation capacities, examining their community impacts and achieving their goals.

Margo and Loree both hold post-graduate degrees that focus on developing new approaches to evaluating community-engaged art-making. We are members of the Canadian Evaluation Society.
