A digital roadshow in Shetland
There seems to be something in the air this week. I have spoken about the internet and technology a few times and then this comes along!
On the 18th October there is a roadshow at the new cinema and music venue in Shetland, Mareel. Starting at 10 and ending at five, this is a free event, and you will need to register on  http://ambition-roadshow-mareel.eventbrite.co.uk/ The information below comes from Shetland Arts who are running the event.
 What is it?
A event from AmbITion Scotland to let folk from performing and visual arts organisations, cultural and heritage venues, cultural events, community arts groups and festivals (to name just a few!) know about how some of Scotland’s most remote artistic projects, and how cultural organisations have used digital tools to create global reach, scale, and access to their local work – engaging and increasing their audiences both locally and globally.
