Australian Creative Histories & Futures (ACHF) is inviting feedback from the arts and research communities as part of its midpoint co-design process. 

As the project enters its next phase, ACHF will focus on strengthening digital capability and data literacy across Australia's arts and cultural sector. This work aims to support researchers, artists, arts organisations and policymakers to better manage, govern, analyse and creatively reuse data.

We want to ensure that ACHF's training, resources and services are shaped by the needs of the people who will use them. Through this co-design process, we're seeking insights into the support, guidance and capability-building activities that would deliver the greatest value to different users across the sector.

The feedback will help inform the future development of ACHF resources, professional development programs and sector-wide activities.

We are particularly interested in hearing from: 

• Artists and creative practitioners

• Arts and cultural organisations

• Cultural policy professionals

• Researchers and subject matter experts

• First Nations artists, organisations and communities.

Participants are encouraged to read From Creative Histories to Futures: Mapping the Cultural Data Sector in Australia, ACHF’s national review of Australia’s cultural data ecosystem, before completing the consultation. A two-page briefing note is also available.
