Apparo wrapped up the third partnership with the Knight Foundation to build technology foundations for local arts and cultural organizations, so that they can work more efficiently to enrich life in our communities.
Apparo partnered with the Knight Foundation again to provide technology support and education to arts and cultural organizations participating in their Art + Tech Expansion Fund cohort program. Areas of support included:
- Technology Baseline Assessment – High-level survey of current systems, processes and opportunities through Apparo’s proprietary Maturity Model tool
- Tech Therapy Consulting – A detailed review and analysis of current tech challenges and exploration of both short and long-term solutions.
- Technology Educational Workshops – Covering topics such as: Technology Essentials, Digital Footprint, Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Additionally, Apparo matched each grantee with a technology mentor for 4 sessions of individual tech guidance and advice.
