A brilliant new opportunity for the Scottish cultural sector was launched today by our partners in digital development – NESTA.
NESTA’s Digital Research and Development Fund for Arts and Culture, Scotland is designed to support arts and cultural organisations across Scotland who want to work with digital technologies to expand their audience reach and engagement and/or explore new business models.
£500,000 is available to support collaborative partnerships between arts and cultural organisations and technology providers; and to provide a body of rich research evidence, data and case studies that inspires and supports the capacity of the wider arts and cultural sector to innovate.
Arts and cultural organisations in Scotland are invited to submit projects which test digital propositions around audience reach and engagement and new business models.
The fund is a partnership between Creative Scotland, Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and NESTA. It is part of Creative Scotland’s Cultural Economy Programme strategic focus on digital development for the cultural sector.
There will be a series of Digital Days events in March 2012 to help people learn more about the fund and how to access the fund. The AmbITion Scotland team will be there and we hope to see many of you there too!
