Sponsor A Museum

About the Program     |     Past Recipients     |     Advisory Board     |     Application

This program offers smaller museums or galleries free assistance with their technological and web needs. Past recipients include the Bytown Museum in Ottawa and the Buffalo Nations Museum in Banff.

Zero One Design is a design company based out of Victoria, BC. We work exclusively with culture - primarily museums and galleries and count some of the best of these as our clients. We are firm believers in giving back to our community and we decided in 2004 that what we really wanted to do, what really put a fire in our belly, was to take a smaller museum or gallery under our wing and help them out with their technological and web needs. We run across too many institutions that have amazing collections, but no money, staff or technological skills to present them in the online world. We have an advisory panel of museum professionals including past recipients who help us choose a museum we will work with.

What this program offers:

  • the breadth and depth of the company’s knowledge of museums and galleries and technology, gathered over eleven years of working in the field, attending and presenting at conferences aimed at culture and technology, reading about culture and often just “geeking out” about it
  • advice, skills and possibly grunt work to help a museum either improve or create a website
  • assistance with collection management systems including an opportunity to get set up with a pro version of Canada’s newest collection management system – Madrona

What we want:

  • an institution who will work with us to improve what they have - and have a little bit of time to put towards this project
  • an institution that is open minded and willing to be cutting edge
  • an institution that has passion for technology or will allow our passion for the field to rub off
  • any benefits that you offer current sponsors

We really do like museums and we have spent a decade in this sector working with them. So, if you think you might be the right fit for us fill out an application form.
