Love Culture is an online community where you can make friends and share your views about art and culture. The project is currently in beta mode.

This Turtle will unpack some of the wider issues of online engagement in relation to the cultural sector.  Considering an ‘audience cloud’ as a more open approach to audience participation where people are at the heart of the cultural space.

In late 2008 discussions between ACENW, FACT and folly took place around an initiative to stimulate more and better engagement with digital tools, interfaces and creative content by all arts orgs across the region. Ideas were generated including workshops, conferences in order to engage as many organisations as possible. Art of Digital was born

However, folly took the view that whilst these activities were important and should be done there was a further opportunity to develop something that could have a fuller impact and more significantly reach out to audiences. The proposal was made to develop a digital widget that would exist as a pice of code linking together all cultural organisations websites in the NW.  Art Of Digital would provide a unique platform and window of opportunity to engage with NW based cultural organisations and obtain some buy in from them for the project.

Love Culture will be used as a case study within this discussion.
