Arts Talk, New Forum in Open Museum

Open Museum now supports automatic email notification of Museum forums. Since museums can host multiple discussions on dedicated topics, it makes it easier for an Open Museum member to follow selected conversations (from various museums), without necessarily being a friend of those museums.

For instance, if you go to
MeTA(Official openmuseum.org demo museum and home turf of the Open Museum team), you will see in the left side bar links to About Open Museum, Arts Talk and Curators Resources & Forum. Each webpage, includes a discussion, making it easy for any member to pose questions, raise issues, make suggestions on any topic they choose. We still welcome messages through the contact link, but hope that most meta-conversations will occur in the open where any Open Museum member can participate in shaping the particular aspects of the site as well as the culture of the site in general.

There's an interesting conversation underway on Arts Talk about the Moral Rights of Artists. Note that this conversation, like all others in Open Museum, are open to the Open Museum community. To join the conversation, register.
