I’m starting to really appreciate the difference between being an individual agent and creating a culture of agency. If she is not willing or able to articulate a potential change, it’s not a prototype—it’s just a model of a foregone conclusion. It’s the pride of the “space maker” who enables other people to be risk-takers.

I'm focusing on the community response to the prospect of the millage and the way the public debate reflects broader conversations about the public value of the arts. But the arguments trotted out represent how far we have to go in articulating the public value of arts institutions (and helping our supporters speak the same language).

I believe that setting that expectation at the outset made a big difference both in my eventual pay and the responsibilities offered to me. I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling. I survived the first half of 2003 financially on art modeling and poetry gigs.

The resulting (real) exhibits are high-quality experiences that reflect a level of creativity that could not have resulted from our scant in-house exhibit development staff. Once we realized that virtual exhibits would not translate directly to the real world, we transitioned to a model where the real exhibits were "inspired by" the virtual.
