The Canada Council for the Arts has announced two new programs: Digital Generator, to help arts groups, collectives, and organizations to build digital capacity, and transform their business models and operations; and Digital Greenhouse, to help artists, arts groups and arts organizations develop projects that make use of digital technology to address sectoral and digital challenges.
Digital Generator

improve specific areas of business with digital technology to lower costs and increase efficiency
generate new revenue streams
collaborate and connect with others
