Last Friday, I mulled over some discussions I'd heard at GATHER Atlanta about the various ways in which local artists should and could communicate with each other to cross-promote events, form a larger support system, and generally raise the profile of Atlantas artistic community. There was a general sense that people wanted a central place to go to find out about arts events in Atlanta. Why not create a hashtag on Twitter that folks can mark their updates with? Why not indeed. So we created #atlarts.
Know about an awesome event? On your way to or already at said awesome event? Tweet it and tag it #atlarts. The idea is to have an of-the-moment resource for artists and art lovers that says what, when, and where arts events are happening. All updates tagged #atlarts will run through a feed in the righthand column of our A&E page. And remember, you can also follow both Curt Holman and I on Twitter. Now get to it!
