Digital R&D Fund for the Arts Evaluation
Following the completion of the Digital R&D Fund for the Arts at the end of 2015, Arts Council England, Nesta and the Arts and Humanities Research Council has published a number of evaluation reports in relation to the Fund.

Launching the Digital Arts and Culture Accelerator
Arts Council England and Nesta are excited to announce the Digital Arts and Culture Accelerator. This is a pilot programme to explore whether a tech accelerator model can transfer into the arts and cultural sector, to support innovative new ideas from organisations that do not ordinarily take on commercial or social investment.

An accelerator for the arts
Working in partnership Nesta and Arts Council England are providing a further stage of support for up to 10 of the 52 projects in the form of an accelerator. This intervention is designed specifically to help projects become ‘investment ready’ with the aim of attracting new forms of finance beyond traditional routes.
