Arts and culture are essential for growing informed and engaged communities. Arts practitioners, through their work, connect people to place and to each other. Increasingly, technology is becoming an essential component of this work, both for individual artists and arts organizations, and technology is constantly changing. With every evolution in technology, artists leverage new and emerging tools to impact the way their work is created, viewed, shared and consumed. Across artistic genres, facility with technology and digital tools is no longer an optional skill set. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

The Knight Art + Tech Expansion Fund <\/strong>seeks to support artists and arts organizations in our Knight communities by equipping them to carry out their work in an interconnected world in ways that engage audiences in innovative ways. <\/p>\n<\/div>
