OPEN STUDIO: THE ARTS ONLINE REPORT:
LESSONS LEARNED
<http://www.openstudio.org/Lessons/>
Below is an announcement of a report from Open Studio on lessons learned so
far in this NEA/Benton project founded October 1996. Although the report is
specifically focused on the constituency of individual artists and arts
organizations, there will be lessons here for all involved in training
those in the arts and humanities to use the Internet to use and create
resources and new communication spaces.
This online report also includes a conference space for comments on the
report or related experiences with Internet training:

>WHAT IS "LESSONS LEARNED"?
>
>"Lessons Learned" documents the experiences of the Open Studio organizations
>who trained artists and arts organizations to publish online. From its
>inception, the goal of Open Studio was to extract the lessons from the
>project and share them with the arts community. For this project to succeed
>it was essential for the Open Studio organizations to share their successes
>and frustrations as participants in the project. "Lessons Learned"
>discusses the challenges and solutions that technology trainers faced in the
>Open Studio project.

>WHAT IS OPEN STUDIO: THE ARTS ONLINE?
>
>Launched in October 1996 by the National Endowment for the Arts and the
>Benton Foundation and budgeted at $1 million annually, Open Studio: The Arts
>Online (http://www.openstudio.org) is a laboratory that explores tools and
>techniques to empower artists and cultural organizations to participate in
>the networked environment of the next century. The Endowment and Benton
>conceived Open Studio as a three-to-five-year project intended to increase
>the amount of local arts information on the Internet, allow local arts and
>cultural institutions to increase public recognition of their activities,
>and create a linked environment in which individual artists and arts
>institutions can place their work in a national context.
