Fri 6. Sep 2024 16:00 – 17:00

This session provides an exclusive overview of the Digital Inter/Section (DI/S) outcomes, a pan-European project exploring new business models for digital art organizations. Over the past few years, DI/S stakeholders have gathered extensive industry insights, published comprehensive reports, developed sustainability guidelines, and experimented with prototyping business models. The session will preview some innovative tools and case studies and share strategic as well as practical insights.

Digital Intersection

How to build economic resilience for digital art organizations? Digital art is often seen as a cultural good, distinct from products or services, making traditional business models seem incompatible. Challenging this view, the Digital Inter/Section Consortium has been exploring new sustainable, ethical and inclusive business models for digital art organisations. This session, led by the creative consultancy THE CATALYSTS, shares methodologies developed with four European partners: KIKK, Signal, Kontejner, and Chroniques.

We will present a platform for peer-to-peer learning among professionals and share pilot projects from our partners. Through detailed case studies, we’ll explore methods to diversify revenue streams, develop new services, attract new target groups and forge valuable partnerships. Additionally, we’ll introduce a new toolkit that will help organizations evaluate their business models and maximize their economic potential.
