A quickie to advocate, “Click!” from the Brooklyn Museum

I forgot to plug this project in my post earlier today, so I am posting this short one. If you haven’t visited the Brooklyn Museum’s site to take part in Click! be sure you do it soon. An innovative crowd-curated exhibition, allows you to evaluate on-line submissions for the project. You only have until Friday, May 23rd to complete evaluations. So, don’t miss out!

That is what Shelley has done at Brooklyn and it’s that same spirit that we try to follow in Indianapolis.

There is a team of us, each trying to keep up with our own social networking activities while trying hard to make something that represents IMA, looks good and actually offers something worthwhile.
