New website content from existing collections materials:

– By sharing the 30-day arst challenge, the museum was encouraged to create more content for their own website and social media post.
– The museum was also able to create more content for their E-Newsletter.
– Daily social post and hashtag them using #SDARTCHALLENGE & #MUSEUMFROMHOME people were able to participate from all over the world.

SD Art Museum for their reopening created an exhibit named “50 Works for 50 Years Collections Retrospective”

Link: https://www.sdstate.edu/south-dakota-art-museum/exhibit/50-works-50-years-collections-retrospective

– Beginning from 1970-2010 the ‘50 works’ was shared online.
– The museum was able to translate the exhibit digitally during the Pandemic.
– The visitor can select which decade they would like to explore and be brought to a page.
– The museum created ‘object cards’ that visitors can click and would open up an artwork with information for each of the 50 works, such as artist bio, and more information.

Example: Oscar Howe homepage Link: https://www.sdstate.edu/south-dakota-art-museum/2016-50-works-50-years

– Each page gives a bio of the artist and related archival images.
– Celebrate the museums history.
– The museum was able to get copyright permissions
– Used ‘recycled’ biography from previos exhibit
– Link back to collections pages
– Archival images
– The project relied on what they already had and made the information more accessible.

Plenty of Dividends:
– Good bridge to making the collection accessible online
– Helped make connections with artists and donors
– Accessibility fulfilled our mission

Marketing and Development:
– Stayed connected with our core constituents: visitors & donors
– Broadened the outreach to new constituents
– Learned to maximize our website, despite its limitations.

– Box for sharing files
– Word documents for content
– Excel for a simple schedule
– Drupal (SDSU’s website web platform)
– All from our home offices
