Roger Smith Hotel, NYC

I just got back from a weekend in New York City at the inaugural SMartCAMP, “a symposium on social media use in the arts.” I met some great people, though not everyone I was looking for, and was really happy with the focus of the conference. Finally! This is exactly what I needed.

Judging by the attendance, it seems plenty of people really want to know more about how social media can be used in the arts. For me specifically, it’s not only how to use social media in higher education, but finding the fine line between social media use and fine art. I want to put together a similar symposium during SCAD’s fine art festival in Savannah in the fall and invite some of these speakers to talk to students starting their art careers. It would be a great help. If you’re interested in learning more about this plan or have ideas, and not my number one fan (hi mom!), please get in touch.
