One that has found remarkable success is California’s Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. Audiences of all backgrounds found ways to connect with museums as it presented exhibitions with the help of foster youth, migrant farmers, roller-derby girls, mushroom hunters, surfers and incarcerated artists, among others.

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.

I have an unusual education for the director of an art & history museum: a degree in electrical engineering. Diane calls it "Beauty Class," but it really seems to be about aesthetic valuing: identifying beauty in its many forms, and developing a personal aesthetic sensibility. I can identify artworks by famous artists.

We spend most of our days with people who look like us, who share our culture, background, and class. Rather than operating in a bubble of “art people” or “history people,” we strive to connect ALL people in our county. Artists and activists exhibiting their work.

There are many artistic projects that offer a template for participation, whether a printed play, an orchestral score, or a visual artwork that involves an instructional set (from community murals to Sol LeWitt). Beck talks about this in the context of learning to play music as a young artist. There are twenty songs in Song Reader.

A Community-Based Approach to Collecting and Cataloging CUL is a replicable model for community archives that accepts every piece of print media from a certain area without making quality or importance judgments, going back as far in history as possible. You go online, and that’s why physical culture is at risk.

Originally posted in April of 2011, just before I hung up my consulting hat for my current job at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. I honestly think the only kind of cultural institution that cannot support audience participation is one in which staff members don''t respect visitors or what they have to contribute.

I've seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

There are more than enough people in the field who are enthused about active participation, and recent reports like the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy's Fusing Arts, Culture, and Social Change have sparked field-wide conversations about how philanthropy might more equitably support institutions that serve marginalized communities.

This is not to say that science centers are more censored than art or history museums—every kind of museum has its own hang-ups. And while narrative-based museums have long dispensed with the concept that museums present a neutral point of view, science centers still feel that their trustworthiness rests on their objectivity.

In In and Out of the Dark [pdf] , Colby College professor Lynne Conner argues convincingly that the current refinement of the Western fine arts experience is an aberrant blip in a long history of participatory audience engagement. From the Ancient Greeks through the 1800s, audiences were rowdy, engaged people.

The first couple days in Cambodia we learned about the culture, which was very important, but also very challenging for the participants. As a result, you have a culture of post-traumatic stress disorder. We spent the first few days really understanding the culture. We brought in survivors of the genocide. It was so fun.

The preliminary bouts on cultural interpretation are over, and the crowds are roaring for blood. Now I work at a history-focused museum with a similar mentality; as a for-profit insititution, we operate more like other guest service businesses (theme parks, restaurants) than collecting institutions. How do I know that?

I often tell people the story of how I used to think that I wanted to be a massage therapist, until I took a class and I realized you had to massage naked people you didn't know. Does anyone in the room identify as an artist, by any chance? I just want to dispel the myth that we are not activists and that we are not artists.
