A Digital Roadmap for the Arts is a guide for arts and cultural organisations seeking to develop their digital maturity. It explains some of the signs of a ‘digitally mature’ organisation, such as having a more holistic approach to digital where it is incorporated in both creative and distributive processes and where ‘digital’ has become normalised into everyday thinking and decision making. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b8971d0d1315f6668aa8/1593281575121-UTPY6W2SJ8ETKPSNOR7T/Screenshot%2B2020-06-25%2Bat%2B23.35.43.jpg Projects - Digital Impact - Phoenix Arts Centre, Leicester - Phoenix Digital Blueprint Alongside researching and writing an economic impact report for internal use at Phoenix, the project culminated in a blueprint document which profiled the organisation’s value as a digital leader in the city of Leicester and its surrounds. https://www.sophiefrost.net/projects/project-four-6bmj9 monthly 0.5 2020-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b8971d0d1315f6668aa8/1593123078150-B882JDXR6S1TA54JVAU5/IMG_5624.JPG Projects - Practicing 'Digital Courage' at Greenham Control Tower Building ‘Digital Courage’ at Greenham Control Tower, Newbury https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b8971d0d1315f6668aa8/1593123223574-NGB7KG9HXK8NLASK0TWL/IMG_5626.JPG Projects - Practicing 'Digital Courage' at Greenham Control Tower - Capturing Oral Histories and Digital Recording On 24th July 2019, all volunteers – regardless of skill or interest – were invited to attend a 90-minute Oral History and Digital Recording Workshop at Greenham Control Tower. During the workshop we discussed the purpose and value of oral history; learnt about different interview techniques; considered some good practice models for oral history making used by other heritage organisations and; learnt about the practicalities of oral history gathering - from digital recording to dissemination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b8971d0d1315f6668aa8/1593123736751-MDROI004N9BKVI64TSOB/IMG_5623.JPG Projects - Practicing 'Digital Courage' at Greenham Control Tower - Introduction to Creative Programming and Exhibition Planning On 14th October 2019, I was invited back to GTC to deliver a workshop with volunteers as well as volunteers from neighbouring West Berks Museum to consider what makes for a successful temporary museum exhibition. We reflected on some best practices of exhibition curation used by other regional museums; covered the basics of exhibition design; talked about the practicalities of exhibition management - from installation to invigilation and; considered how to programme a series of themed events around an exhibition. https://www.sophiefrost.net/projects/one-by-one-uk-us monthly 0.5 2020-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b8971d0d1315f6668aa8/1593014866380-8JH1GBWXL3DKKZM3LGL9/5f965fde-a1c3-430c-8383-dc9c91f49bd8.JPG Projects - One by One UK-US UK delegation to American Alliance of Museums (AAM).

I worked with Royal Pavilion & Museums Brighton & Hove to explore ways to develop digital courage within the service and asked the question: how can we develop digital confidence in the museum workforce and empower greater personal storytelling around its collection using technology? There were two main outcomes: The production of a consensus-led social media blueprint for the museum service, which will be utilised in the writing of the new digital strategy as the organisation goes into independent trust. The creation of Voices of the Royal Pavilion & Museums, a staff-led voices going behind the scenes at the museum service. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b8971d0d1315f6668aa8/1593280345902-RGSJUMML0GTRTHSDZPRN/IMG_1672.JPG Projects - Building 'Digital Courage' at Royal Pavilion & Museums Brighton & Hove - Consensus-led practice I wanted to experiment with developing a consensus-based approach to digital at RPM where decisions were formulated by the museum people as a group, rather than decisions feeling like something bequeathed, top-down or based on the decision-making of an individual or a siloed team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef0b8971d0d1315f6668aa8/1593279938876-558ECK9XDR3CW6D4216J/IMG_1050.jpg Projects - Building 'Digital Courage' at Royal Pavilion & Museums Brighton & Hove - When Digital ‘Confidence’ becomes Digital ‘Courage’ As I developed my interventions in Brighton, I drew heavily on my scholarly background in Visual Culture to build a set of concepts around the democratising power of technology to help reframe the museum. I wanted to show that museum peoples’ needs and aspirations for digital need to be met at their own level, without necessarily the intervention of advanced technology or large-scale organisational change. The idea of ‘digital courage’ was evolved from digital confidence’ as ‘courage’ was felt to be a more empowering and collective term, and more consistent with RPM’s collaborative and community-driven working practices. This framed the intention of the two final outcomes of the project.
