"The arts are future-making." I wrote this down when Deborah Cullinan said it at a meeting of arts leaders about a year ago. We were discussing the potential for cultural organizations to have significant impact across communities: on planning, health, education, and quality of life. A fitness trail for urban life.

When you have four facilitators, you want to make sure that you choreograph each activity. The lead is also in charge of the pivot and communicating that to other facilitators. Defining Roles.

New laws and policies will help, but any movement toward greater cultural and racial understanding and communication must be supported by our country’s cultural and educational infrastructure. Schools and other arts organizations are rising to the challenge. There is hardly a community in the U.S. What should be our role(s)?

Last week I was honored to be a counselor at Museum Camp , an annual professional development event hosted by the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (MAH). Each year they bring together diverse, passionate people for a sleep-away camp for adults where they learn together through active, creative workshops and activities.

Hosted by a sound art collective, Ultra-red, the 2015 event promised "to investigate listening as a political activity and to interrogate the stakes of participation in neoliberalism." It reenergized me about focusing my limited time, energy, and creativity on the participatory opportunities that fuel me and my dreams.

While the majority of experience-based museums like children's and science museums have unrestricted noncommercial photography policies, many collections-based art and history museums continue to maintain highly restrictive photo policies. There are thriving groups of Flickr users who share photos of themselves imitating art.

The article suggests that museums have previously served one community--"traditional" museum patrons who are white and elderly--and must now be relevant to several other communities that are diverse in cultural, educational, and socio-economic backgrounds. And so I'd like to suggest a few other ways to "connect with community."

I used the example of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, which has a mission statement that includes unusual words like “bold” and “fearless.” I consider this the greatest obstacle to the inclusion of participatory practice in cultural institutions because it fundamentally changes the way organizations staff and fund projects.

You are the only active agent with an interactive. With a dog, you are both active agents, and the “interactivity” is social. In a museum, I can’t necessarily tell if the ancient bowl is communicating with you or you with it. It struck me that she was incredibly privileged to have this personal relationship with the art.

In our years of talking to staff, boards, and communities about participatory philanthropy, people often talk about their worst participatory decision-making experiences. New to Participatory Grantmaking? It often takes clarity of roles and purview and even some structure to do that. But these “soft skills” are not magic.

The Brooklyn Museum of Art is a great example of a museum really embracing these environments for community-building purposes. But for some institutions or projects, being under a big tent that includes millions of people, groups, and activities is not appropriate. Why might a museum create its own social network?
