I'm prepping for a workshop on Social Media and wanted do a round up of recent compelling examples of arts organizations using social media strategies and tools. I've covered arts organizations and social media here and there over the past three years and last winter co-wrote a cover story article with Rebecca Krause-Hardie for ArtsReach.

After I graduated from college, I thought about all of the conversations I heard back at home, about how there was just nothing you could do to stop injustices. I co-founded a nonprofit called “The Moon Balloon Project” and worked for arts in healthcare nonprofits. That you just had to let things go. And I thought, “Wow, really?”.

Earlier in 2013, I was amazed to visit one of the new “Studio” spaces at the Denver Art Museum. The Denver Art Museum is no stranger to community collaborations, but we’ve been dipping in our toe a little more deeply when it comes to developing permanent participatory installations. Who are all of these people? What inspires them?
