Deadline: 31-Jul-23
The India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) is looking for design studios to redesign the website and make it more contemporary and accessible.
IFA implements projects with the aim of filling important gaps in private and public assistance for the arts and culture in India.
The programme variously respond to existing demand for support, provide opportunities for artists to explore untried processes and new connections in the arts, or address systemic issues in the field.
The projects they implement involve all forms of cultural expression, while accommodating work that falls outside specific domains of art, blurs disciplinary boundaries, or anticipates new modes of artistic production and presentation.
The IFA supports and implement projects under five key programmes—Arts Research, Arts Practice, Arts Education, Archives and Museums, and Project 560, especially encouraging work in Indian languages other than English. Every 6-8 years, each of the programmes undergoes a review process that involves a panel of experts from the field. Based on the panel’s recommendations, the programme is rearticulated or a new programme comes into being.
The India Foundation for the Arts is looking for a design studio with capabilities to:
- Redesign the IFA website to look contemporary and offer easier navigation
- Present the content in innovative ways
- Build accessibility across devices, bandwidth and abilities
- Create a robust backend that can be managed easily by IFA staff on a day to day basis
- Offer hosting and annual maintenance services for the next three years.
