To that end, our exhibitions are full of participatory elements. We actively seek participation and develop structured opportunities for visitors to collaborate with us. the most powerful evidence of it happening is when our active role as designers/facilitators becomes invisible.

The Denver Art Museum is no stranger to community collaborations, but we’ve been dipping in our toe a little more deeply when it comes to developing permanent participatory installations. Community artists gave their honest feedback, and we crafted a display based on these discussions and their contributions.

Fifteen people engage in the prescribed activities. We held a free yoga class in the plaza outside the museum and invited artists to come and draw/paint the yoga-doers in motion. For me, Downward Draw provided an unusual opportunity to examine the more casual end of the participatory spectrum. Ready for a math problem?

What should be our role(s)? Artists and arts organizations are contributing their spaces and their creative energies. Some might say that only museums with specific African American collections have a role, or perhaps only museums situated in the communities where these events have occurred. Marcia Chatelain.

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."

The Museum solicited photographs from artists via an open call on their website, Facebook group, Flickr groups, and outreach to Brooklyn-based arts organizations. All evaluations are private; all artists are unnamed. They are sensitive to the artists who are being judged. What Should Artists and Arts Organization???s

It’s not unusual for us to meet with an environmental activist, a balloon artist, a farmer, and the Mayor of Santa Cruz all in one day. When planning programs or events, we involve a combination of these groups to share and bridge audiences, bringing big, diverse crowds to new artists and ideas. Large and small (or no) followings.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Will the artists ruin the museum with their plant vacations and coatroom concerts? Will the bureaucracy of the institution drown the artists in red tape? No, this is not a reality TV show.

Darcie described the Centre Pompidou in Paris as a place where she is surrounded by working artists, where things change frequently, and where she feels as a visitor that anything can happen. When visitors feel confident about their roles and opportunities, they are more likely to feel able to extend their experience in a social direction.

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance. I promised to commit to stay through the opening if she'd let me take on this role, and I suggested that she could keep me at my (low) salary instead of hiring an expensive project coordinator.

At the adjacent table, my colleague Stacey Garcia was meeting with a local artist, Kyle Lane-McKinley, to talk about an upcoming project. I don't know what formed the bridge between the artists and the teens in this circumstance. On the third floor, they sat down in our creativity lounge and started making collages.
