Museums Association: Digital Innovation and Engagement Fund
Overview
2020 has been an extraordinary year, one that has had, and will continue to have, significant long-term impacts on how museums function, their communities and their role in society. Following consultation with the sector, the new two strand programme will support museums during this unprecedented time of change and help them to creatively explore and innovate with their communities.
The new fund will provide a series of grants of up to £50k to scale up and evaluate the new ways of working that they have developed during the Covid-19 pandemic.
An associated programme, ‘Mindsets for Museums of the Future’, will support museums to probe and action their own post-Covid futures through a series of workshops and networking opportunities.
The context of a climate emergency, Black Lives Matter, and a global pandemic has provided a catalyst for change in museums not seen since the second world war.
They will be working with UKRI and AHRC to support museums on this journey of change and innovation as they develop new ways of connecting and working with their communities.
