It all started amongst a query via email
Hi Katherine
Knowing yous to last an skilful on blogs I wondered if I could inquire a few questions. I am a fellow member of a novel fine art social club in addition to they are wanting a squad spider web log where everyone tin comment. I was planning to run google blogger equally I'm familiar amongst it but simply realised that I would in all probability demand to create a novel google trace organisation human relationship equally inwards the time to come I volition top it on to someone else to administer. However I don't actually desire to croak on signing inwards out of google exercise yous know if at that spot is a way to combine the accounts? Or perchance yous tin propose an alternative. I don't demand anything fancy equally long equally I tin prepare pages for a gallery in addition to bring a calendar for events. There would last 3 administrators, members exclusively to post in addition to comment but visible to the world.
I has halfway through writing the answer when I realised it would in all probability brand rather a goodness spider web log post.  So I sent the answer off - in addition to this is the follow-up!

My answer volition last inwards iii parts
  • Part 1 - Why it's a goodness sentiment for an fine art corporation to bring a blog
  • Part 2 - What yous demand to exercise to prepare an fine art spider web log for an fine art society
  • Part 3 - What yous demand to exercise to prepare a Group Art Blog for an fine art society (ie where members tin post content in addition to upload their ain images)
In add-on I'm creating a directory of fine art blogs yesteryear fine art societies - in addition to if your fine art corporation has an fine art spider web log I'd dearest to hear from you.  Please teach out a comment and/or transportation me its URL.

I'll last using examples from dissimilar fine art corporation blogs to Illustrate what is possible

This is the spider web log of the Lincolnshire Artists. It's an instance of an fine art corporation
which is using blogging software to supply both a website in addition to a intelligence site
and makes non bad run of the Pages part to supply access to its archives in addition to business
Why it's a goodness sentiment for an fine art corporation to bring a blog
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 spider web log for an fine art corporation is a goodness matter - period.

Why so?  Here's why.


Blogs are dynamic non static

  • Art blogs croak on people visiting - regular posts hateful that the site keeps beingness updated in addition to that agency Google volition similar it much ameliorate than e.g. a website which is oft really static
  • Regular posts close the corporation in addition to its members delivers a much ameliorate profile for artists in addition to their artwork inwards an meshwork historic menstruation than a website.  It too provides a reason for communicating amongst the residual of a group's relevant natural communities - inwards price of location or interest.  Blogging tin last really pop inwards some rural areas where people tin last quite spread out.
The spider web log of York Art Society - announcing (on 10 Feb 2013)
its upcoming exhibition inwards March at the Guildhall in York

Marketing fine art in addition to artists
  • Announce exhibitions - inwards advance, simply earlier the Private View, later the Private View. halfway through in addition to equally a reminder that the exhibition closes soon!  In other words croak on it inwards front end of people in addition to encourage people to catch - in addition to purchase art!  People actually similar pictures inwards their e-mail in addition to each post tin exhibit dissimilar artists' paintings
  • Highlight creative individual members in addition to others who bring won awards.  I'm ever amazed that fine art societies teach sponsorship for in addition to pass coin on prizes in addition to thus exercise really lilliputian amongst this data for the exercise goodness of the artists, sponsors in addition to the society.  A spider web log offers the chance to characteristic each in addition to 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 last whatever scratching of heads equally to what to include inwards your spider web log if yous tell to your members that each of them tin bring a guaranteed characteristic at to the lowest degree i time a twelvemonth inwards which they tin present their images in addition to verbalize close their art!  I'll verbalize close how inwards posts #2 in addition to #3
Supporting artists
  • Announce a member's exhibitions inwards other places Even if an exhibition is zip specifically to exercise amongst the fine art society, highlighting a fellow member artists's artwork inwards some other exhibition helps their prospects in addition to adds to the credibility of the fine art corporation - ie these artists don't simply present inwards the annual exhibition!
  • A spider web log post tin supply a way of having a retrospective tribute to members who bring 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 yous should last able to verbalize close it inwards public
  • A spider web log tin last used to announce fine art corporation events of every form which tin in addition to should include members of the populace eg exhibitions, workshops, visits etc
Highlight corporation events
  • A corporation may wishing to give its spider web log a rigid lean towards its populace human face upwardly rather than acting equally an internal noticeboard.  However, that said, it's too useful to bring some other way of reminding members close the normal trace organisation of a society which is not completely "secret" e.g. AGMs, election of officers etc
