Digital Transformation Client Work
Oakville Arts Council
Through our work examining technology platforms used by arts and culture organizations, we were able to recommend options to improve grant allocations and membership tracking.

We helped the Backus/Page House museum design online educational programs, to offer additional revenue opportunites to the organization.
Wiki GLAM projects
Victoria has worked for several years with visual artists, art galleries and museums to create a series of workshops and tools to help GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) increase their audiences and links to communities through Wikidata editing sessions and uploads to Wikicommons.

Digital Transformation Insights
Visitor Experience Tool from Italian Art Museums
Here is an interesting alternative to audio guides – a jot book that visitors can use on site to prioritize what to see while giving museum staff an opportunity to add interpretation and context for the visitor.
Insights For Creatives and Culture Workers
We monitor trends in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museum) Sectors to provide overviews and links to key trends that cultural workers are watching.
