  REINVENTING CREATIVITY AND INSIGHTS OF TODAY’S WORK IN A CULTURAL INSTITUTION  
 
 
 
 
New publication models for collections, virtual tours of exhibition centres or historical paintings brought to life with the aid of a mobile device – combining culture with business and technology breaks open the boundaries of the traditional reception of the arts. New analogue and digital experiences are enhancing our possibilities to engage with creative products and art. In this way, visitors to museums, architectural sites and galleries become users and sometimes even producers of these organisations’ content.
THE ARTS+ is about the business of culture – but primarily it is all about people. We team up with museums, start-ups and technological industries companies and of course the creative minds behind them. Meet us in London (July 5),in Berlin (July 7),
in Frankfurt (11.-15. October 2017), or online (anytime).
