The Australia Council for the Arts has developed its ‘Arts content for the digital era strategy’ in response to the current and anticipated future impact of digital technologies on the arts sector, artists and arts audiences.

The strategy addresses:

How digital infrastructure will affect where and when artists engage with their audiences.
How traditional artforms - from Indigenous music to literature and the performing arts can use digital technology to push their creativity into new domains and construct engaging audience experiences.
The new business capabilities required to navigate the emerging business models of the 21st century, to ensure a sustainable future for Australian arts and culture.
How our arts heritage will be preserved in a digital environment and how it can be made more accessible for future ‘digital native’ generations.
