I started doing a lot more homework and research on social media for the arts (museums and art galleries) as well as for performing arts (theatre, opera and classical music).  It’s definitely more challenging to find information and people who discuss social media for the arts/performing arts. 

However, I did find some and they are full of great information. Some are blogs while some are blog posts.

Rohit Bhargava wrote a post called 4 Ways Social Media Could Save The Arts. My favorite recommendation is #4 – Allow Patrons to share their experience.  I’ll be writing soon about that.

Arts Marketing – written by Chad M. Bauman the Director of Communications at Arena Stage is an open discussion about arts marketing related issues and often addresses social media and creating work of mouth campaigns.

Arts Organizations and Artists 2.0: Social Media for Arts People is a blog post I found on Blogher by Beth Kanter. It’s a thorough look at how a few organizations are leveraging social media…the post is complete with examples and many outside links that will lead you to some additional information and fabulous blogs.

Technology in the Arts is a blog about just that…the latest technology for the arts which touches on many great tools and topics.

Museum 2.0 explores ways that the web 2.0 philosophies can be applied in museum design.

What’s Your Story? Is a personal branding, PR and New Media for artists blog written by Beth Dunn, the Director of Communications and Technology for the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod.
