Like, Link, Share: How cultural institutions are embracing digital technology, is a report and web gallery that highlights examples and lessons learned from legacy cultural institutions that are successfully embracing digital media in their work, whether in artistic creation and artistic programs, audience engagement activities, fund development, operations, or in all of these. The report and its companion website describe the distinctive leadership and organizational capacities required for pioneering work, and will help trustees, grantmakers, and colleague institutions understand the conditions needed and actions taken for success in our increasingly digital culture.
