Community arts organizations, despite their social value, often struggle and may be more likely to survive by increasing their overall sustainability. Our project involved the community identity and operations of the Worcester Arts Workshop. We gathered information on organizations similar to the Workshop as an operational comparison, and further developed the Workshop’s history, community engagement, technological systems, and time usage awareness. We created a guideline for possibilities of the Workshop’s activities to allow it to improve its sustainability and accessibility.
