NEO "may show" "Cleveland School" to beat Artsopolis (and Silicon Valley), for our creative classSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 11/04/2004 - 02:06.
Let's beat Artsopolis (and Silicon Valley) and save NEO artists money. The following article plugs an arts portal in Silicon Valley that they claim is getting the attention of lots of other arts organizations around the country. I do use Artsopolis when in SF and the protal is good, but it is no better than we can do here - and we need this capability to promote one of our greatest regional assets... the arts!!! I've been pushing for this to happen in NEO for years and this is one of the primary motivators for my developing REALNEO - to make these capabilities and technologies available to everyone in the NEO arts world - FOR FRE. I've even registered "May Show" and "Cleveland School" to give the initiative familiar branding - and I do that for the community... NOT FOR PROFIT! In the next few weeks, I'll launch a REALNEO protal just for the region's arts community and I will push all commnity leaders to use that to promote local arts world-wide. This is not intended to replace what they already do with the internet, or discourage anyone from investing in their own innovations and continuous improvements - this is designed to meet the common needs of all artists and arts organizations and patrons - for free - NOW. We have the technology, not available before. Stay tuned - updates and the mayshow will post here sooner than you can imagine (just waiting for a bit of new code to post at our host). For now, read about the "competition" and see what they're trying to sell us out of Silicon Valley. Arts groups look to Valley for tech helpBy K.

Artsopolis
Greetings from Artsopolis.
Just found this posting in a Google update re: our listings, and it prompted me to chime in on a couple of points: 1) We are a non-profit program of Arts Council Silicon Valley, and we wish you all the luck and success in creating your own Arts & Culture calendaring site. 2) This is not a competition from our perspective. Rather, our intent is to provide communities who would like to have their own robust calendaring site with that option in a very short period of time - at substantially less cost then building one from scratch, and the annual costs to maintain it. 3) Any revenues generated from this project will simply help to minimze our program's depndency on contributed income, and further our long-term ability to serve our primary mission: To support and enhance the marketing and audience development activities of Arts & Cultural organizations in the Silicon Valley Region.
Respectfully,
Ed Sengstack, Director, Artsopolis Marketing Partnership (AMP)
