The notion of Community art evolved in the post Second World War era out of the concept of cultural democracy - the term used to describe practices in which culture and artistic expression are generated by individuals and communities rather than by institutions of central power. Although there had been earlier tentative experiments in what became known as Community art, including by the nineteenth-century Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, it was not until the late 1940s that the concept of Community art emerged and began to be seen as a way of empowering people. Inititatives included putting visual artists, actors and musicians to work within communities to create public murals, plays and compositions. In the 1960s, when social change was seen as possible, Community art was seen as a way of giving a voice to society's disenfranchised.
