Arcade Offers FREE Virtual Galleries

Arcade [Alliance member], the immersive technology specialists, are offering to create free virtual exhibitions for Heritage Alliance members.

If you’re wondering how to reach your locked-down audiences, and you have digitised artworks that are currently sitting around collecting virtual dust, the Arcade team will ‘hang’ them in a three dimensional gallery space which can be explored by virtual visitors via the internet. Using their computers, tablets, phones or even VR headsets to ‘step inside’ the gallery, users can then enjoy the exhibition from the comfort of their own homes
Each gallery can hold up to 20 artworks, will be publicly accessible via a simple web link, and will remain open indefinitely, or until you decide you’d like to take it down.

Arcade’s first virtual gallery with National Historic Ships UK [Alliance member] has now gone live: A Snapshot of Maritime Heritage @ The Arcade. You can find out more about their gallery below.

If you’re interested in speaking to Arcade about this offer, or to explore other digital methods of engaging audiences, please contact Delphine Jasmin-Belisle at development@theheritagealliance.org.uk. Depending on the level of interest, Arcade may need to limit the number of galleries they create, so get in touch now to see if they can help!
