Exploring Digital: A One-Day Introduction for Non-Digital Artists

Are you an artist/organisation/creative based in or who works in North East Lincolnshire, who is curious about integrating digital technology into your practice but unsure where to begin? Join Create North East Lincolnshire and Threshold Studios for a one-day event designed for artists, creatives, and organisations who don’t typically work with digital but want to explore its creative potential.

Through inspiring talks, hands-on discussions, and networking, you'll discover practical ways to experiment with digital tools, collaborate with experts, and develop ideas for public spaces. Plus, this event will launch a new commission opportunity of up to £10K for artists to test out digital concepts in public space with the chance to showcase it at Frequency Festival. This is a development commission, so you’ll receive support to shape and present your work at all stages from application to presentation.

You’ll hear from leading artists and creatives working across immersive technology, storytelling, community engagement, and experiential installations.

What to Expect:

🎨 Insights from pioneering digital artists and creative technologists
💡 Small-group discussions to explore ideas and overcome challenges
🤝 1-to-1 guidance on developing a commission proposal
☕ Networking with fellow artists and industry experts

Themes include:

• Digital in a community audience context.
• How artists can collaborate with technical experts.
• Large scale digital installations.
