In society today there are many underlying social problems such as injustice, a bad economy, or a need for cultural improvement amongst citizens. Oftentimes this is the thrust that inspires people to rediscover their sense of people power. This is where community based arts is imperative. A healthy community depends on engaged citizens who engage productively.  Communities and residents have the ability to work hand and hand to find common ground on tough issues and enhance cultural development. This study focuses on the construction of public engagement projects through the use of community based arts. Throughout this study we research the various procedures that must be followed in order to develop an effective community project.
