What's New > 2024-2025 Digital Discoverability Program: Call for Participation
June 11, 2024
 |
Applications are now open for CAPACOA's 4th annual Digital Discoverability Program.
Between summer 2024 and winter 2025, you will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with the Artsdata team. The program aims to find solutions to boost the discoverability of your organization, by focusing on your:
- Event pages (i.e. pages describing upcoming live performances);
- Artist bios (i.e. pages describing the performers you present or represent); and/or
- Wikidata items (i.e. entries describing your organization, your venues(s), your festival(s), and/or your artists).
As a result, local arts goers and tourists alike will have a much easier time finding your contents via search engines (ex: Google, Bing), recommendation systems (ex: Siri, Alexa) and cultural calendars using the Artsdata knowledge graph.
Requirements
In order to participate in the 2024-2025 Digital Discoverability program, you must:
- Be an arts organization; either a presenter, artistic company, agency/management company, or arts service organization.
- Manage a website where you publish event pages and/or artist bios.
- **Preferably**, have access to a web developer.
- Have a basic level of digital maturity.
- Assign a dedicated staff member to become your “Discoverability Lead”. This person will act as the primary cohort participant and contact person for the entire duration of the program
