Marc van Bree and I were chatting about some of the collaborative arts marketing strategies that some arts organizations have experimented with on Twitter. Since there have been a few examples, I asked Marc if would write a post looking at some of these. What do you have in store for the future? All in one day.

For those who don’t know the history, the @ NonprofitOrgs brand launched on Myspace in February 2005. It was my first first experience with online social networking and from that first “Friend Request” I was absolutely hooked – obsessed even – with the potential of social networking for social good.

It is what it sounds like: a book of original sheet music, beautifully designed and complemented with artwork and text. Beck''s project is unusual because he deliberately resurrected a mostly-defunct participatory platform: sheet music for popular songs. Sheet music is a beautiful analogy for this.

As a kid, I was saturated by symphony performances and choral music. So, how can we use family or experiences to get people to donate? Maybe think about activities you could support that would offer parents a place for their kids to go and learn, like a movie series, art classes, or a small-scale concert. Be creative.

I eagerly read about a new social psychology research study in which whites, Asians, and Latinos engaged in a simple collaborative activity--making a music video together. When the music video was not focused on Mexican culture, no such change occurred. But each of these studies yields another useful nugget. Direct questioning.

Participatory processes challenge traditional concepts of ‘conflict of interest,’ because the very premise of shifting power is to bring in people with lived experience and expertise, who know their communities, the histories, and the solutions. Integrate elements of creativity and art: some grantmakers include music, poetry, and art.
