Give artists a platform.
Curation and opportunities for discovery help artists share their work and connect with people who might never have found it.
Digital art. Human stories. A shared future.
Every art movement
deserves a museum.
Help preserve digital art and champion the artists shaping it. THE DAM makes their work and stories discoverable, understandable, and accessible to everyone.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted in St. Petersburg, Florida.
01 / Why this matters
Keeping the file
is only part of
keeping the history.
Platforms close. Links break. The artwork may survive while the story of who made it, why it mattered, and the community around it disappears.
Digital art is part of our cultural history. Preserving it means caring for the work and the human context that gives it meaning.
And a museum should open doors. Whether you're an artist, a longtime collector, or simply curious, there is a place for you in this story.
02 / The work your support makes possible
Center the artists.
Welcome everyone.
We don't need to wait for a building to do meaningful work. THE DAM's online mission brings art, education, and discovery together.
Make the space accessible.
Free education and resources help artists and creators navigate digital art, while welcoming people beyond the existing community.
Keep the context alive.
Document the artists, ideas, and cultural moments behind the work, so future audiences can understand more than an image on a screen.
03 / Where we're going
A digital beginning.
A future home in St. Pete.
Support the mission already underway.
Free artist resources, curation, discovery, and preservation are at the heart of our work. Gifts help sustain that mission and develop the organization behind it.
A place to experience digital culture together.
We envision a physical museum in St. Petersburg where art, learning, and community meet. Its scope, location, and timing depend on funding and further development.

A few things to know
Before you give.
Is there a physical museum I can visit?
