Building Digital Capacity for the Arts

BBC Academy and Arts Council England are joining forces to offer training and guidance to the arts sector across England on how to maximize the creation and distribution of high quality arts content for audiences on digital platforms, including online, mobile and internet protocol television.

The building digital capacity for the arts programme, announced in September 2010, will support the development of the arts sector’s media production skills by bringing together the BBC Academy ‘s media and digital experience with the Arts Council’s knowledge of the arts sector.

The initial programme which was launched on March 10th will run until August 2012 and will consist of practical seminars, an online guide to commissioning, facilitated master classes and an online resource of filmed and streamed content.
