As you consider building your organization’s digital infrastructure, upgrading equipment, or infusing digital accessibility into a program, our Technologist-in-Residence Jon Riley is your ally. Rather than offering transactional tech support—you forget a password, cannot connect to a printer, or need to install security software—our technologist-in-residence will help you imagine possibilities, explore resources, and plan next steps. Members can sign up for 30-min. or 1-hour consultations.

Our seven-part workshop series is designed to help people working at arts and culture organizations question, challenge, and expand their knowledge on current trends in the online cultural space. Intended to be supportive and empowering, all workshops will be followed by 30-minute hack sessions, where participants will learn skills to enhance their work in the digital landscape.

From February through May 2021, Technologist-in-Residence Jon Riley met with DAAP participants and CultureSource members to provide individualized support in strategizing organization’s digital work. The purpose of this service wasn’t to learn how to set up an online gallery, but instead explore why one wants to set up an online gallery.

To assess the needs of CultureSource members, we commissioned 8 Bridges Workshop to discover how organizations use technology in their work today and possibly the future. This research provides insight into how organizations used digital tools to adapt their work for virtual presentation, and makes recommendations as to how arts organizations can build their digital capacity.
