Building digital content

Digital content is now an essential element in reaching audiences and communicating the work that we do in the Arts. For a small regional arts centre like South Tipperary Arts Centre (STAC) it is vital and became especially important during the pandemic.

In spring 2021 STAC launched a new and improved website developed with the help of the Arts Council’s Capacity Building Scheme. It was important that the website would be digital resource for people and also act as an archive. Our Virtual Tour uses 360 image capture from an iPhone into which we can place icons with further information, such as images, audio, or video. The most recent two tours live on our Digital Content page with all others accessible via the Archive.

The STAC Arts Podcast has been going since 2019 and is presented and produced by STAC administrator Eimear King. Each episode links in with aspects of STAC’s programme, offering additional insights and information for our audiences which can be accessed from the comfort of their own home.

Both the Virtual Tour and the Podcast also act as a resource for the artists involved in our programme and represent content that they can share via their own websites/social media channels and use as supporting documentation for future opportunities.
