Museum 2.0

JULY 1, 2011

I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months. But the point is that the MAH, like just about every other museum in the known universe, was content to define the museum experience as something removed from the outside world, a rarefied church-like space of refined artistic reflection.

For a long time, I agreed with this argument. But here I sit, the director of a museum that almost closed, squirreling away money for an operating reserve. Consider the museum I run. In 2011, we were on very shaky financial ground. We had a dedicated staff that wanted to make this museum as good as it could be.

TCG is the industry association for non-profit theaters, the way AAM is for museums. Given TCG''s multi-year Audience (R)evolution initiative, I took the opportunity to write a new talk about what revolution has looked like at our small museum in Santa Cruz. At the same time, our community relevance was limited.

I asked how their new Exploring Engagement Fund (of which my museum was an early grant recipient) was going. First, and close to home, it meant the possibility that the Irvine Foundation might become a funder of the work we do at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History around active arts participation and social bridging.
