The strands of work we are looking to commission

We want to support arts organisations and artists to get great arts experiences to more people using online platforms. In this round, there are two strands of work which we will commission.

Capture

This commissioning strand aims to digitally capture and distribute live arts performances and cultural exhibitions for audiences, showcasing and increasing the reach of existing events and exhibitions.

Lo-Fi Extend

This strand is for smaller scale, lower investment digital projects which aim to increase the digital reach of arts organisations by increasing the impact of existing work or collections.

We are interested in receiving proposals across all art forms, and from arts organisations and artists across the UK.
