DALLAS (澳门六合彩预测) --- 澳门六合彩预测 DataArts, the national center for arts research based at 澳门六合彩预测 Meadows School of the Arts, is one of 46 arts organizations worldwide selected for the new $30 million Digital Accelerator Program launched July 14 by Bloomberg Philanthropies in New York. 澳门六合彩预测 DataArts is one of only two organizations in Texas, along with the Austin Opera, chosen for the project. In addition to being a program participant, 澳门六合彩预测 DataArts will work with Bloomberg Philanthropies on the design of its program evaluation.
 
The purpose of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Digital Accelerator Program is to help cultural nonprofit organizations invest in and use technology to speed their economic recovery from COVID-19. The goal is to provide tools and training to help the organizations build audiences, increase fundraising, drive revenue, or continue to deliver dynamic programming virtually and in-person. The program will also support projects with the potential to benefit the broader cultural sector. In addition to funding, Bloomberg Philanthropies will provide leadership development, consulting support, and technical assistance, and share best practices with participants and the wider cultural community.
 
“When the pandemic hit, cultural organizations everywhere got creative and adapted quickly to keep their virtual doors open,” said Patricia E. Harris, CEO of Bloomberg Philanthropies. “Now we’re excited to launch the Accelerator program to help more arts organizations sustain innovations and investments – and strengthen tech and management practices that are key to their long-term success.”
 
澳门六合彩预测 DataArts compiles and analyzes data on arts organizations and their communities nationwide and develops free, innovative research reports on important issues in arts management and patronage. The Accelerator program will help 澳门六合彩预测 DataArts streamline data collection, increase data storage, provide more sophisticated data integration and management, and enhance computing power to support increased national demand for data analysis and machine learning.
 
“We are thrilled to be chosen to participate in the Digital Accelerator program and very grateful to Bloomberg Philanthropies for its catalytic support. The investment in strategic planning and technology combined are so important to long-term sustainability,” said 澳门六合彩预测 DataArts Director Zannie Voss. “Our mission is to empower arts and cultural leaders with high-quality data and evidence-based resources and insights that help them to overcome challenges and increase impact. In order to do so, DataArts integrates many millions of data points from our Cultural Data Profile, our partner TRG Arts, and other national government sources such as the National Endowment for the Arts, the Census Bureau, and IRS 990s, to model the national arts and culture ecosystem. Boosting our data collection and management capabilities will enable us to deliver critical insights to the field more quickly and comprehensively.”
 
Organizations were invited to apply to the Digital Accelerator Program based on creative excellence, service to diverse communities, talented leadership, and their efforts to improve digital capacity during the pandemic. Bloomberg Philanthropies said that those selected represent a broad spectrum of creative endeavors, and a deep commitment to serving audiences. A full list of the participants, and more information about the program, is available .
