SEPTEMBER 4, 2012

This morning, I checked in on the Pocket Museums on our museum's ground floor.

The purpose of my thesis was two-fold: To research and analyze community and civic engagement practices, methods, theories and examples in other museum programs.

Maybe it's a live music concert, or a museum visit, or a play. Museums and other venues are offering special programs for teens, for hipsters, for people who want a more active or spiritual or participatory experience. What are museums and arts institutions doing to tap into these forms of motivation?
