It's Passover, and Easter, and let's not forget tax season (and no, we don't count that as a holiday)! If you're among the disciplined who already filed your taxes months ago - kudos to you my friend. However, if you, (like most of us) leave it to the last minute, we're sharing a useful article about making charitable deductions. Regardless if you're planning on event-hopping or lounging on the couch this week, we've got you covered. Here are our favorite online reads of the week along with upcoming events and opportunities centered towards professional development, networking, social activism, and community engagement. Here’s what we are into this week:

Reads and Feeds: Words that Lingered

“Beyond the subject matter or the expertise, it’s the people behind the accounts that bring museums to life online.”

— Russell Dornan, Web Editor at Wellcome Trust

Should Museums Have a Personality?, Russell Dornan, Medium; explores how social media managers play a pivotal role in defining an institution's voice and tone online and he looks at how this task is tackled across differing museums worldwide.

Charitable Deductions for You, Me and Warren Buffett, Hannah Cole, Art F City; talks you through ways of using charitable deductions even if you're not a gazillionaire. Since lower income people give far more than higher income folks, this is something we should all keep in mind when filing our taxes.

Theatre Can Only Survive If It's Eventful, Richard Watts, ArtsHub; spoke to director, playwright, film-maker and theatre-maker Robert Lepage about how theatre should challenge audiences. It needs to be bolder, take people out of their comfort zone and shouldn't be afraid of being difficult. Amen to that!

Driving Diversity Through Board Service, Alexandra Hallock, Americans for the Arts Blog; argues that ensuring non-profit organizations look like the communities they serve means starting from the very top. Supporting organisations in recruiting, training and developing diverse and inclusive boards results in stronger boards that are strengthening conversations and broadening perspectives.

“Books, operas, classical music, the Met (both of them). Currently re-discovering Russian literature. Are you the Anna Karenina to my Count Vronsky?”

— Tom, 26, honest Tinder prince working in the arts

8 Honest Tinder Profiles of Young Art Professionals; Mara Vlatković, ypanyc.com; explores what we would write on our Tinder profiles if we could only be honest without scaring everyone away. Do you know what your profile would sound like?
