Note from Beth: Last month I had the pleasure of presenting on a panel at Association of California Orchestras with Marc van Bree , an arts and social media blogger I met in 2007. Kicking off the effort was paired with an e-mail to a list of about 30 classical music bloggers. The lessons for arts organizations.

The tag #Zepotha has nearly 160 million views, and the movie’s theme song — an ethereal, synth-heavy pop beat — is trending. It’s all part of a clever marketing campaign to promote a new song by the musical artist Emily Jeffri. Going viral on TikTok was once a perk that fast-tracked artists to making it in the music industry.

In those days, I was " circuit rider " where I traveled around New York State to work with very small local arts councils in rural areas. One of the projects I developed and implemented for NYFA in the late 1990s was called " KIT: Knowledge in Technology " where nonprofit arts organizations developed a strategic technology plan.

Museum 2.0

MARCH 3, 2007

But I’d been scribbling notes for an art museum label post for awhile, and then yesterday, the NY Times had a review of a new show at MOMA, Comic Abstraction. And it ended with this: No wonder it [MOMA] ends up showing shallow, label-dependent art rather than work that offers deeper, more contradictory encounters. The review was harsh.
