The Space – Digital Mentoring Programme
For arts organisations, artists and creative practitioners thinking of producing and distributing work digitally.
The Space and AM, with funding and support from Arts Council of Wales, is launching a new Digital Mentoring and Peer Support Programme. The programme will help artists, creatives and arts organisations to develop practical digital skills, including content production, publication and audience development.
The Programme will begin with a taster webinar that will run on 13th and repeated on 15th April. This webinar will provide practical tips from four creative digital content specialists on topics including:
Finding and developing your online audiences
Monetising online content
Assessing how lockdown has changed audience behaviours
During the webinar the mentors will also respond to to questions about any digital challenges you are facing, which you can submit in advance or ask during the session. The webinar is free to attend and open to anyone, whether or not you intend to apply for the subsequent digital mentoring scheme. However, the session will also act as an introduction to some of the programme mentors and to the digital topics that they can support you with through the mentoring scheme.
