Have at least some board members been actively cultivating top donor prospects? You should also talk to others in the industry with experience successfully conducting campaigns of similar scope. Do board members have a clear understanding of their role and expectations as fundraisers for the organization?

Many people ( Paul Orselli , Linda Norris , Pete Newcurator ) in the museum field have written about the question of museum "tribes"--based partly on Seth Godin's book , partly on the longstanding fan culture that pervades our lives through sport , celebrity, and shared experience of mass events. They hand flags to little kids to wave.

Here's what we learned from each of these activities. We've actually been experimenting quite a lot with this here at the MAH with a simple project called the Five Friday card. This experiment was surprisingly successful; despite the busy holiday season, we had 18 people complete the challenge (out of 500 cards distributed).

What are they learning from their experiments? Arts organizations have turned the corner of being daunted by (or resistant to adopting) digital and social media, and have entered a phase of experimenting and optimizing. From these questions, our national study, How Strong is Your Social Net? was created. Who responded?

Make your Giving Tuesday campaign a peer-to-peer experience. Try a peer-to-peer experience to boost the impact of your campaign and acquire more donors that you can then steward after Giving Tuesday. A reliable auction platform also makes it easy to pivot this experience to the virtual space! Team up with local news.

One of the best projects that illustrates the basic idea of Web2.0 - listening and conversation and stakeholders creating their own experience with your organization - comes from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. They're now running a compelling experiment in crowd-sourced exhibition creation and curation via the photography exhibition Click.

I just got home from the Museums and the Web conference in Indianapolis. I’d never attended before and was impressed by many very smart, international people doing radical projects to make museum collections and experiences accessible and participatory online. Where are the friendly, open, participatory experiences you came for?

Sometimes when I engage in self-care and take a break, I feel guilt that I am not actively doing something or being productive, especially when I have projects that need to be completed or while job searching. Your training and experience may position you to compete for well-paid jobs in other fields. Questions. A: Not that we know of.

I've seen several museums experimenting with inviting visitors to take action, make promises, and join communities of intentionality (here's a post with examples from 2007 ), and the USHMM effort is particularly compelling for some specific design choices made in the development of the pledge wall. That's not to say it's perfect.

Many museums have been experimenting in these spaces by creating institutional profiles, museum affinity groups, and connecting with visitors and other museum professionals individually. But for some institutions or projects, being under a big tent that includes millions of people, groups, and activities is not appropriate.

The result is a focus on designing spaces, workshops, and social experiences that facilitate creative sharing. Which leads, finally, to the experience of designing exhibits in Second Life.

In the current situation only those who can afford the cost, and think the experience is valuable enough to pay for, can have access to the patrimony that belongs to us all. Instead, Elaine goes to a more interesting place, arguing that charging admission fundamentally affects the nature of the museum experience. Not convinced?
