Christopher and Joanne Hartworth describe their experiences of doing a participatory evaluation of the Inspire public art programme in South East Northumberland, UK. The evaluation sought to find out whether several of Inpsire’s key objectives were achieved. The authors raise a number of interesting issues about using participatory approaches in public art programmes.
