An invitation to be a supporter of Culture Hack Scotland, April 27-28 2012

Culture Hack Scotland 2012 is a 24 hr event where digital & design talent work together with cultural organisations to make new and exciting innovation projects.

Last year’s CHS was the most productive event of its type ever seen and was the most remarkable example to date of two of Scotland’s great sectors - the cultural and the digital - innovating together.

The calibre of the participation cultural organisations include the Edinburgh Festivals, National Museums of Scotland, Scottish Poetry Library, Film 4 and many more.

Culture Hack Scotland was a great advert for how open innovation can transform access to culture.

Blown away by Culture Hack Scotland. Probably the most productive hackday that I’ve ever seen. Well done Scotland.

A fantastic opportunity for non-techies to get their head around the possibilities that digital media offers.

An educational, informative and fun experience. It really highlighted the advantages and importance of openness and collaboration.

No clearer demonstration of how the worlds of digital and the arts are the same terra firma. I want more.
