We invited community members in, to be active contributors, collaborators, and co-creators in our museum space. For example, in Santa Cruz there is a huge community of creative people who identify as artists in non-traditional media.

Our job was to provide a structured environment in which to develop ideas and the expertise to build the best of them. However, the contest also prevented us from legitimately fostering collaboration. To produce that content, I put an ad on craigslist and invited artists down to The Tech to be videotaped while creating art.

Art museums are the least likely to empower their own staff to initiate participatory projects but the most likely to work with artists whose approach to participation might be quite extreme.

Have Fun - Do Good

OCTOBER 1, 2006

Up until now, we've really found that it is an advantage that cause marketing has over traditional marketing, just in that people like to pass along educational or cause-related messages more than they do traditional advertisements.
