Digital Impact Study - Phoenix Arts Centre, Leicester.
In 2018, I worked as an AHRC Creative Economy Engagement Fellow at CAMEo (Cultural and Media Economies Institute) at the University of Leicester. My remit was to undertake a collaborative and impact-oriented research project with Phoenix Arts Centre (an independent cinema and digital art gallery) to assess its digital maturity in the run up to the submission of its Stage 2 ACE Capital Grant bid.
Digital Roadmap for the Arts.
A Digital Roadmap for the Arts is a guide for arts and cultural organisations seeking to develop their digital maturity. It explains some of the signs of a ‘digitally mature’ organisation, such as having a more holistic approach to digital where it is incorporated in both creative and distributive processes and where ‘digital’ has become normalised into everyday thinking and decision making.
Phoenix Digital Blueprint
Alongside researching and writing an economic impact report for internal use at Phoenix, the project culminated in a blueprint document which profiled the organisation’s value as a digital leader in the city of Leicester and its surrounds.
