| Three Musicians, by Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, oil on canvas, 1921. |
Wanna tell the Internet everything you know about Cubism? Feel like writing quick-hit blurbs about the Blue Period? Here's your chance: The Philadelphia Museum of Art has launched a new blog in conjunction with the opening of its spring exhibit, "Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris."
Despite the fact that it's called "Picasso Posse," the idea has potential: The PMA's asking you, artsy Philadelphians, to contribute. In what they're calling a "new experiment in social media," the PMA folks will pick a group of bloggers to write posts, upload photos, create behind-the-scenes videos and Tweet the hell out of all things PMA.
The perks? Free unlimited access to the museum's collections (presumably at least till April 25, when the Picasso exhibit shuts down); cred on the blog; power. The downside? No money involved, and as one blogger points out, you're basically feeding the PMA free information for not a whole lot of reward.
To apply, complete the following steps and send materials "as soon as possible" to kari.molvar@philamuseum.org:
- Submit a sample 250-word post on any topic related to Picasso
- Suggest 5 ideas for content you would create for the Museum's blog
- List any relevant experience you have with blogging, including any blogs or sites that you currently host or write for.
In the meantime, pick up a fresh City Paper and flip to the A&E section, where visual art critic Robin Rice gives you her take on Picasso at the PMA.
Har, harrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Tis alomost funny except that Shitypaper is backing an idee like dis, butt then again they always are on the side of the establishment. This Picked Over Piccostco Free Blogging After Youz Submit A Ton of Crap and Get Less Than the Other Bloggers and Media Goons is just another example of the lack of respect the PMA has for those of an artistic bent, unless yous are big timers, then yous get the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't visit this show, don't send them membershit money (even at their NEW discounted rip off price), don't send them free content for their website unless your time is worth about 50 cent an hour!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe Crayolyn Huckabyebye should du the free blog thang for Pee M Ehhh since she is endorsing it wit this valuable space!!!!!!!!!!!! lovvvvveeeeeeeeeeee ya!!!!!!!!! H+H
