Today on Beth Kanter's oft-fascinating blog, there's a discussion on social media and arts organizations. The results are sometimes a little embarrassing, as they seem to assume that twenty-somethings don't know anything about the arts or even particularly like them. This is a topic that's near to my heart. We're cool!"–style

With all the hype growing around this new social media platform, you’re probably asking how it might be useful in your fundraising strategy and whether you should jump on the bandwagon. Threads is a social media platform where users can post their thoughts, opinions, and reactions in 500 words or less. Sound familiar?

Earlier this month, the Detroit Institute of Arts was "saved" by a voter-approved property tax (called a "millage") in its three surrounding counties. I'm focusing on the community response to the prospect of the millage and the way the public debate reflects broader conversations about the public value of the arts.

What do you do if someone comments with a racial slur on a photo of your volunteer? As they say, “With any social media profile, comes great responsibility.” Having a social media policy in place will help you answer these questions, and inform you or your social media manager on what to do in similar situations.
