Don’t cringe: in this session we’ll talk about business for digital arts. Based on the expertise of over 60+ digital art organizations across the globe, we will be debunking existing misconceptions about financing digital arts, while looking at new, sustainable business models for the future of the digital arts ecosystem.
In the last year <a href="https://www.catalysts.agency/">THE CATALYSTS</a>, together with <a href="https://www.digitalintersection.eu">Digital Inter/Section (DI/S)</a> consortium partners, conducted an extensive study of existing ecosystems and business models in the digital arts industry. Based on a comprehensive survey, micro-case studies and expert interviews, they investigated the monetization trends that keep the art world excited. How to build a resilient financial future? Join us for a preview of key findings of the report and for a conversation with digital organizations representatives.

The presented study is part of Digital Inter/Section (DI/S), a project funded by the European Commission within the framework of the Creative Europe program. DI/S aims at diversifying the sources of income and business models for digital arts &amp; culture organizations, while promoting sustainable, ethical and inclusive economic development. It is an initiative of Chroniques (France), Chromatic (Canada), Kikk (Belgium), Kontejner (Croatia), Signal (Czech Republic) and THE CATALYSTS (Germany). In a next step, based on the research, the partners will develop and test innovative new business models and create a toolkit to increase economic resilience. The toolkit will be broadly available to the whole ecosystem to accelerate new ways of doing business.
