Event Info
Join us to imagine innovative ways open data practices can serve the Cultural & Arts sector and take the first step towards creating an Open Data Agenda for NYC Culture and Arts.
Organized by the Culture & Arts Policy Institute in connection with New York City’s Open Data Week, we will explore how open data can bolster systemic change within NYC’s arts and culture sectors. After a short presentation on the principles of Open Data and Open Government, a panel of culture workers, data analysts, and artists will discuss the potential of open data to strengthen New York’s cultural ecosystem and the challenges and opportunities they present for artists, cultural workers, and culture organizations.
The event marks the beginning of a broader research and collaborative process to create an Open Data Agenda for NYC Culture and Arts tailored to the needs of cultural workers, arts organizations, and the communities they serve and work with, encouraging dialogue and collaboration within and across sectors.
Arrive early to visit Data Through Design, the annual data art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze, interpret, and interrogate data made available in NYC’s Open Data Portal.
Co-presented with BRIC, this program is part of NYC Open Data Week, an annual festival of community-driven events that brings New Yorkers together to share and learn about publicly available data.
