Like many people in the arts, I'm interested in new models that help people combine mission-driven work with an entrepreneurial spirit. The idea is that you specify your values, relationships, and assets, and then match those up with potentially fruitful legal structures, financing models, and growth potential.

Like many museum and library professionals, I am enamored of the idea of cultural institutions as “third places” – public venues for informal, peaceable, social engagement outside of home or work. I closed this book wondering: are cultural institutions really interested in being third places? Facebook discussion board here.

So the Community Science Workshop model is to put a drop-in, FREE community science center in a place that is walkable to kids'' lives and schools. We''re really different from traditional science centers in our funding model. We have a few shining, beloved exceptions, but that''s not a significant part of our model at this time.

When I heard the tollbooth story, I started thinking about gifting as a model for participatory experiences in museums. This post discusses participatory gifting in three parts: the why, the what, and finally, the how. Why is gifting a model worth exploring? How can you integrate facilitated gifting into your institution?

Recently, I've been doing a lot of workshops with cultural professionals around the question of developing authentic relationships between institutions and visitors. They model impersonal, businesslike relationships between the institution and the people who care about it the most.

I want to see more multi-person exhibits, more prompts for discussion about content, more tools to facilitate connecting wtih other visitors whose interests are similar or in some way useful to your own. By the standard set by a culture that judges MySpace as dangerous, perhaps these in-person interactions are even MORE dangerous.

Yes, community involvement is at the heart of our shifted, successful business model. But that business model requires experienced staff who know how to empower people, facilitate meaningful participation, respond to community issues and interests, and ignite learning. What is the metaphor for participatory arts?

So then we’ll talk about what are some participatory planning methods. Sometimes, you have too many ideas so you need a strong facilitator who can make sure we hear from everyone, but are able to put these ideas through a funnel and find those common threads. How do we do this well? That was one really fun example. .

A Networked organization is more than just the electronic infrastructure and tools that facilitate communication. When you have a group of people working together in a network-culture and are facile with the tools, it can be unstoppable. 2) Networks are participatory. It is a collaborative way of working.

This session was participatory in several ways, including interactive music-making machines in the audience and half the time reserved for Q&A. A few things I learned from the presentations and discussion: Dan shared a useful 4-step mental model for the progression of how institutions move towards participatory engagement.

Given the lack of established models, there will undoubtedly be some unanticipated curves ahead. Facilitating personal bonds between local producers, consumers, and suppliers can increase resiliency in periods of global supply chain disruption while cutting the carbon footprint of shipping.

It is crucial that LAMs be considered public civic spaces, but Oldenburg's model leaves a lot to be desired. The ideal of third places, that attracts we cultural heritage types, is a democratic space where civic life is built collaboratively and at a personal level. And John Cotton Dana's department store model is an interesting one.
