Hi Katherine
Knowing y'all to endure an proficient on blogs I wondered if I could inquire a few questions. I am a fellow member of a novel fine art gild together with they are wanting a squad weblog where everyone tin comment. I was planning to purpose google blogger every bit I'm familiar amongst it but merely realised that I would likely demand to create a novel google trouble organisation human relationship every bit inwards the time to come I volition move yesteryear it on to someone else to administer. However I don't actually desire to cash inwards one's chips along signing inwards out of google exercise y'all know if in that location is a way to combine the accounts? Or perchance y'all tin advise an alternative. I don't demand anything fancy every bit long every bit I tin ready pages for a gallery together with convey a calendar for events. There would endure 3 administrators, members entirely to post together with comment but visible to the world.
I has halfway through writing the reply when I realised it would likely brand rather a goodness weblog post.  So I sent the reply off - together with this is the follow-up!

In add-on I'm creating a directory of fine art blogs yesteryear fine art societies - together with if your fine art firm has an fine art weblog I'd beloved to listen from you.  Please move out a comment and/or transportation me its URL.

I'll endure using examples from dissimilar fine art firm blogs to Illustrate what is possible

This is the weblog of the Lincolnshire Artists. It's an instance of an fine art firm
which is using blogging software to supply both a website together with a tidings site

Why it's a goodness persuasion for an fine art firm to convey a blog
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 weblog for an fine art firm is a goodness matter - period.

Why so?  Here's why.


Blogs are dynamic non static

  • Art blogs cash inwards one's chips along people visiting - regular posts hateful that the site keeps beingness updated together with that agency Google volition similar it much improve than e.g. a website which is oftentimes really static
  • Regular posts well-nigh the firm together with its members delivers a much improve profile for artists together with their artwork inwards an mesh historic menses than a website.  It too provides a footing for communicating amongst the residual of a group's relevant natural communities - inwards damage of location or interest.  Blogging tin endure really pop inwards some rural areas where people tin endure quite spread out.
The weblog of York Art Society - announcing (on 10 Feb 2013)
its upcoming exhibition inwards March at the Guildhall in York

Marketing fine art together with artists
  • Announce exhibitions - inwards advance, merely earlier the Private View, later the Private View. halfway through together with every bit a reminder that the exhibition closes soon!  In other words cash inwards one's chips along it inwards front end of people together with encourage people to watch - together with purchase art!  People actually similar pictures inwards their electronic mail together with each post tin exhibit dissimilar artists' paintings
  • Highlight creative someone members together with others who convey won awards.  I'm e'er amazed that fine art societies larn sponsorship for together with pass coin on prizes together with thus exercise really piddling amongst this data for the exercise goodness of the artists, sponsors together with the society.  A weblog offers the chance to characteristic each together with every prizewinner inwards an private post - amongst their prizewinning painting.  To encourage the others....... ;)
  • Use posts to characteristic the artwork of private members.  There should never endure whatsoever scratching of heads every bit to what to include inwards your weblog if y'all state to your members that each of them tin convey a guaranteed characteristic at to the lowest degree in i lawsuit a twelvemonth inwards which they tin exhibit their images together with beak well-nigh their art!  I'll beak well-nigh how inwards posts #2 together with #3
Supporting artists
  • Announce a member's exhibitions inwards other places Even if an exhibition is aught specifically to exercise amongst the fine art society, highlighting a fellow member artists's artwork inwards some other exhibition helps their prospects together with adds to the credibility of the fine art firm - ie these artists don't merely exhibit inwards the annual exhibition!
  • A weblog post tin supply a way of having a retrospective tribute to members who convey passed on or who are leaving the community
Highlight populace events
  • You tin use posts for all the outward facing aspects of the society.  In other words if you're doing it inwards populace thus y'all should endure able to beak well-nigh it inwards public
  • A weblog tin endure used to announce fine art firm events of every kind which tin together with should include members of the populace eg exhibitions, workshops, visits etc
Highlight firm events
  • A firm may wishing to give its weblog a potent lean towards its populace human face upward rather than acting every bit an internal noticeboard.  However, that said, it's too useful to convey some other way of reminding members well-nigh the normal trouble organisation of a society which is not completely "secret" e.g. AGMs, election of officers etc
