The Building Digital Capacity for the Arts programme, announced in September 2010, will support the development of the arts sector's media production skills by bringing together the BBC Academy's media and digital experience with the Arts Council's extensive knowledge of the arts sector. The initial programme runs from March 2011 - August 2012 and will consist of a launch event, practical seminars, an online guide to commissioning, facilitated masterclasses and an online resource of filmed and streamed content.
