10,000 Invitations

1000invitations

I'm really looking forward to 10,000 Invitations: A Roundtable on Arts Institutions and New/Social Media I'm putting together for the New Communicators on October 30 from 4-6 PM at The Gerding Theater at The Armory. Smart people from the Portland Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Craft, PICA, and Portland Center Stage will be on hand to discuss what about how they're using new/social media to further engage audience and what their plans might be for future. I wrote about my thinking behind it on Culturephile.
