Arts and Cultural Digital Roadmap
Intended Audience
Including but not limited to arts educators, technical producers, visual artists, performing artists, gallerists, museum curators and administrators, arts and culture organisations.
- Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth of Singapore, National Arts Council Singapore and National Heritage Board Singapore
“The need for digitalisation has been accelerated by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has limited physical performances and visits to museums and galleries, revealing gaps in digital service delivery. The arts and culture sector has adapted to these challenges by digitally transforming and enhancing the experiences of consumers. In the post-pandemic world, digital and blended delivery models will be even more common. It is more relevant now than ever to develop digital capabilities to push the boundaries and transform the creation, presentation and marketing of arts and heritage offerings.” (pp.1-2)
