Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) in Hamilton recently announced that it has been selected to join the Bloomberg Philanthropies Digital Accelerator Program. This initiative helps cultural organizations across the U.S. and U.K. to strengthen technology and management practices to improve operations, drive revenue, increase fundraising, engage broader audiences, and deliver dynamic programming.

The award of up to $200,000 will enable Faith McClellan, GFS’ director of collections and exhibitions, to participate in the program as a Bloomberg fellow. As a fellow, she will collaborate with a consultant from Lapine Group to make digital upgrades to the management of the art collection. Investing in these upgrades will improve the internal efficiency of the collection’s management and enhance public access to information about the collection’s art and artists.

“I’m delighted GFS was selected to participate in the Bloomberg Philanthropies Digital Accelerator Program,” said McClellan, “As a Bloomberg Fellow, I look forward to developing and implementing new tools to help our curatorial team manage our extensive collection and to providing more people with access to information about our dynamic contemporary art collection.”

Over the past three years, the Digital Accelerator Program has been a catalyst for strengthening nearly 150 cultural organizations across the U.S. and U.K. To date, the 40 institutions that were part of the first cohort cumulatively grew an additional $20 million in new revenue including through fundraising, reached over 1 million new audience members, and engaged more than 4,000 new artists and partners.

Grounds For Sculpture is one of 200 nonprofit cultural organizations accepted into Bloomberg Philanthropies’ new Digital Accelerator Program cohort, spanning artistic disciplines and organization sizes across 52 U.S. cities and 28 U.K. cities.
