ItemTeacher, mentor or role model: the role of the artist in community arts work with marginalised young people( 2004)This paper emerges out of the interim findings of the Risky Business research program, an interdisciplinary study of the use of the creative arts as an intervention for young people at risk. Over the period of the program nine individual arts-based projects are running in three geographical areas in Victoria, Australia - an outer Melbourne suburb, inner Melbourne suburbs and the rural town of Bendigo. Each of the programs runs between twelve and twenty weeks and operates out of a resource centre for young people aged 16-22. This paper addresses some of the issues that have arisen during the project about the differing style and approach of artists working on the various projects. The approach of the artists has varied in relation to their discipline, their training, and their work orientation, their background and , possible, the gender mix of participants and artists working together. This paper draws from data, primarily interviews with artists, gathered across five case studies. The paper considers whether particular styles of artistic leadership, including the variables noted above, are more effective when conducting arts programs with marginalised young people.
