The significance of creative ecologies and acknowledging existing creative partnership research is an expanding field of interest both in Australia and the United Kingdom. This chapter reflects on a contemporary range of creative engagement practices, creative partnerships and emergent ecologies as new ways of working in the cultural sphere. Propositions that signal purposive change have been articulated, rather than perpetuating assumptions about how creativity has been used to describe all processes of change as innovation, for example. Evidence and considerations for recalibration that respond iteratively and interstitially to complex ecological phenomena are articulated. The chapter presents a brief summation of the major contributions of this volume, and directions forward for the field of creativity research in current policy contexts.
