The Space
VerifiedOnline/Digital
The Space brings arts organisations, artists and technology together to make great art and reach new audiences. We do this by commissioning projects, building digital skills, and helping organisations and venues reach more people using digital media.
We were founded by Arts Council England and the BBC to make arts and culture for everyone, support new talent and original work, and help the creative economy grow.
The BBC Academy supports our training and development work, and Creative Scotland, the Arts Council of Wales and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland fund and support our commissions outside England.
We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) with an independent Board of Directors from technology, media and the arts. Source
