Here's a great boost to overcoming hump day: invite your colleagues in the non-profit arts to breakfast. Early Wednesday morning at MadHatters Tea House & Cafe, Rod Rubbo, Kathy LeMaster, and I hosted a meet-up with the Fund's affiliates to discuss social media collaboration. We had a fantastic turn-out, and I was inspired by how generous everyone was their time, experiences, and ideas.
In attendance, we had Linsey from the Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA), Shelley from the Southwest School of Art, Yonnie from the Carver Community Cultural Center, Aimee from the Magik Theatre, Di Ann from the San Pedro Playhouse, Emily and Zinnia from Blue Star Art, Lee from ARTS SA, Suzan from the SA Opera, Jennifer from Gemini Ink, Katrina from KLRN, Lee from San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, and Nicte from YOSA. We were also supported by fellow Fund volunteers Lauren, Anja, and Christina.
It was the first time the group met offline, getting to know the folks behind the Facebook Pages, Twitter feeds, and emails. We hope it's the springboard of many future collaborations and a stronger sense of identity and community among arts organizations throughout San Antonio.
Next month, many of us will be attending Action Camp - Social Media for Nonprofits; today is the last day to register at the discount rate of $25. And if you're interested in learning more about social media in San Antonio, there's no better resource than Social Media Mentoring.
