ArtsTech Meetups

On a wintry Thursday night in mid-January 2009, a crowd of arts professionals met in a downtown bar. Many knew of each other but had never actually met before. In the midst stood Julia Kaganskiy, who after months of preparation and research had organized this gathering, which she called the Arts, Culture and Technology Meetup (ArtsTech), comprised of people committed to exploring how arts and cultural institutions can uutilize new technologies to increase awareness of the arts. Some 100 individuals had expressed interest in this initial event on Meetup.com, and since then ArtsTech has grown into a must-attend event for artists and arts and culture professionals working with technology.
