The second run of the Acceleration Programme for the Arts took place from 19 March to 5 April 2024 at National Gallery Singapore (NGS). The programme targeted small to mid-sized arts organisations, which have started some form of digitalisation and needed more help to get to their next stage of growth.
Speakers from the arts and private sectors, including Singapore Symphony Group, The Theatre Practice, Tate Anzur, Microsoft Singapore and NGS shared insights on topics such as digital marketing strategies, digital transformation, navigating business operational challenges and the future of arts with the emergence of new technology.
UOB FinLab, NAC and programme speakers provided follow-up support where participants of the second run were invited to Tate Anzur’s new Culture Club initiative to join network-and-learning lunches, based on different communications and marketing topics, after the acceleration programme.
