The Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) is proud to unveil its
new website and digital platforms, launched as part of the Trust’s 20-year
celebrations.
The reinvented act.org.za website includes new features,
giving the user a seamless experience across all ACT’s digital platforms.
“The concept of responsive design, together with the range
of new features that the website offers, reflect ACT’s ambition to respond to
the technological environment and to increase its accessibility, particularly
for artists who primarily use mobile devices,” says Chief Executive Officer of
ACT, Pieter Jacobs.
This year marks 20 years of ACT playing a strategic role on
the arts and culture funding and development landscape in South Africa. In
celebration of this milestone, ACT will implement a number of activities and
special events during the course of the year.
“The re-launch of the ACT website - in conjunction with a robust
communications plan that includes a Blog and quarterly newsletters - supports
our plans for the 20-year celebrations, by enabling a number of digital
campaigns around the Trust’s activities to be communicated more effectively,”
Jacobs explains.
At the heart of the re-design of the site is functionality,
to support easy access to information. The quick search option makes navigating
the already easy-to-use site a breeze. Designed and hosted by NetMechanic, the
website features artwork by projects funded by ACT. Among these is Prophecy, a collection of works from
Free State artists that exhibited at the National Arts Festival, Grahamstown in
2013.
“ACT is committed to delivering first-class content across
our new digital platforms and we encourage partners, beneficiaries and arts
lovers to utilise them and to engage with us and other stakeholders in what we
hope will be rigorous discussions,” adds Jacobs.
