As an arts and cultural organization, you are among the most trusted sources of information in today’s world. Along with providing frequent communication, leaders of arts and cultural organizations should be transparent about how this is affecting their organization.

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. How Abundance Can Connect Arts Organizations With Audiences by Marc van Bree.

If you read, in succession, headlines about how the harsh economy is impacting the arts around the country, it is extremely depressing news. This article from the SF Chronicle reports how even the large cultural and arts institutions, the "crown jewels of the Bay Area art scene," are hurting from dwindling donations, volatile endowment funds, cuts in government grants and smaller, choosier audiences. The arts have become a victim of the sour economy.

"The arts are future-making." I wrote this down when Deborah Cullinan said it at a meeting of arts leaders about a year ago. Deborah''s vision for the arts leading the way to stronger future inspired me. But I couldn''t fully imagine how a museum or an arts center could embody it. The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (which she directs) teamed up with the San Francisco Planning Department and the Knight Foundation to host the Market Street Prototyping Festival.

The e-book also points out that headlines may be the most basic type of micro-content, and have been a part of print publications for decades – think newspaper headlines. Headlines are really tweets and more recently good headline writing is an essential skill for nonprofit marketers who embrace social a la “ the Upworthy headline.” The e-book covers examples of micro-content on different social media platforms and channels, pretty much the usual suspects.

When I started at The Museum of Art & History (MAH) in May, one of my priorities was redesigning our website. We are rebranding our museum in the community--not with marketing dollars, but with a singular message about being a thriving gathering place around art and history. A big image, big headline, large copy. If you look at the MAH homepage now, you will see: Clear, unchanging value proposition in the middle: "Your Place to Explore Art & History."

Depending on the amount of pressure you put down on the screen, a host of options are at your disposal, including link previewing, a quick jump to your contact list and “live” photo taking that transforms boring old shots into works of art.

Which means you need to master the art of the follow-up email. The pig was featured throughout the email – header photo, headline and the clever subject line (“Make your honey happy as a pig in mud”). If you run your nonprofit’s email communication program you’re likely always thinking of ways to get better. You probably think about things like opens, clicks, conversions and unsubscribes. Wrapped up in all that is the issue of sending too many emails.

Handwriting is quickly becoming a lost art form. Not only does a hand-written thank you note make a strong impression upon the receiver, but it also makes you a better social media manager because it’s a practice in creative arts – and as all we know, the best social media managers are creative artists.

Captivate with headlines. Headlines are another great way to split up your content. Each post is a little like a work of art—the more people like looking at it, the longer they’ll stay to admire it. Maintaining a blog is like running a marathon. You can’t just do it on a whim—you have to be in it for the long run, otherwise you won’t be rewarded. So how do you write the right content on your nonprofit blog?

In a useful post, Doug Borwick suggests that art is like baseball: declining in relevance. Doug offers analogies between the challenges faced by Major League Baseball and those of traditional arts institutions: a legacy practice that has gotten more commercial but not more connected to real people and real communities. ArtsFwd is hosting a national innovation summit for arts and culture October 20-23 in Denver. This is mostly just a really great headline.

Relevant information is ripped from the headlines, hot hot hot. Art therapy program for trauma victims? "We want our museum to be relevant." I've heard (and said) this many times. But what does it mean for a cultural institution to be relevant? To whom? Relevance is relative and relational. It's the extent to which a thing is connected to something that matters. In pop culture contexts, relevance is about currency. Now-ness.

There are SO many posts to read that I figured I should round them all up in one place and share them. Hopefully, this means that all of the posts I haven't yet found will be added in the comments and we can all create a comprehensive list together. If I missed your blog post, I'm sorry!

These articles tend to portray museums as Big Brother, aggressively tracking visitors'' actions and interests across their visit.

I was hooked from the first sentence: Good is the enemy of great. It’s so true. It’s easy to be good, rest on our laurels and become complacent. But, to be great means you have to keep pushing.
