Wikipedia Loves Art…continued…and a deadline coming up!

Wow, there was such a great response to my first post about prepping for Wikipedia Loves Art! Since that announcement, we’ve been joined by Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The overwhelming cross-institution support for the project has been fantastic and, as you can see from the Flickr Group, organizations are thinking outside the box about how they can participate, which is awesome. If you could see my inbox, you’d know there will be more museums joining in the coming days—exciting!

A quick note about an upcoming deadline. If you represent an institution and would like to participate in Wikipedia Loves Art, please contact me. The deadline for institution entry is this Friday, January 23rd, which will give us just enough time to get everything in order for the big month!
