In 2021, Calgary Arts Development engaged Brian Loevner of BLVE Consults to undertake an evaluation and live case study of the Organization Structural Change Grant.
The arms-length nature of this process is an effort to ensure the analysis and recommendations of the case study are free from staff bias, and reflect an accurate assessment of the program intent, process and impact.
The first phase of this case study was published in March 2022.

The report outlines challenges, identifies issues and realities, and offers generative recommendations and suggestions for what the future of the program could look like.
