Jonny will provide live graphic facilitation of the highly interactive and fun panel. In addition to the graphic facilitation, there will be other interactive learning elements.

I thought the pinnacle of participatory practice was an exhibit that could inspire collective visitor action without facilitation. Our museum is highly participatory: plenty of opportunities for visitors to contribute, for artists to collaborate, for community members to co-create. Humans empower each other. Make space for each other.

For me, it means spending a lot more time facilitating idea generation and communicating with others than being an independent creative agent. The result is a focus on designing spaces, workshops, and social experiences that facilitate creative sharing. What's it like to work in a virtual exhibit workshop?

Small churches play a big role in their community. If you have some talented artists, knitters, jewelry designers, and candle-makers in your youth group, consider hosting a craft sale at your church. The people who are paid staff often go above and beyond their job roles to keep the church running. Enlist in Boot Camp.

So I just want to say, by the way, that artists have left a huge legacy around San Francisco during this pandemic. And, as a philanthropy facilitator, you have an opportunity, I would say, a responsibility to help. This one simply encourages people to have a will and puts the charity in the role of being helpful in that regard.

This essay, written in 1991, reflects Elaine's experience on the planning staff for the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) on the Mall as an "insider/outsider"--a "hired gun" with museum know-how facilitating the creation of someone else's museum.
