With that in mind, Zero1's community engagement manager Danielle Siembieda-Gribben organized HackFlux : a weekend hackathon bringing together a mix of coders, developers, designers, artists, and thinkers this past June.

Stacey has been collaborating with local artists to produce a series of content-rich events that invite visitors to participate in a range of hands-on activities. The events are informal, personal, and fun, but our feedback mechanism--onsite and post-event surveys--not so much. We got intriguing feedback.

After several months of planning massively collaborative programs (a typical monthly event might involve 50 partners), we've realized that the people who are best at helping us come up with ideas are not necessarily the people who are best to help us execute them. Moving from community needs out to possible projects/collaborators.

Flexible, modular support for distributed products: inviting people to plug-in their own creations, whether those be DIY audio tours, pop up events, or co-created exhibitions. We invited local artists and community groups to perform. We designed events and interactive exhibits on ten dollar budgets. But we got it going anyway.

Our internships have generally gotten more structured.

But I would be remiss if I did not say that the community programs internships are all rocking.

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. That’s why we partner with fire sculptors, knitters, graffiti artists, and bonsai growers.

The VSA has replaced their keynotes with structured group dialogue. But the VSA has taken an intentional approach to these structured conversations with the goal of putting the (arguably) best part of conferences—the side conversations and hallway discussions—front and center. My first reaction was skepticism.

Last month, artist and game designer Nikki Pugh led an utterly charming, often hilarious community residency at the City Gallery in Leicester, UK. I wanted the details of the residency to be shaped by the people who got involved with it, so it needed a structure with an edge that could be pushed against in different directions.

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. This kind of engagement ladder provides a structured framework for participation without overly constraining how people get involved.

Community and opportunities for collaboration can be lost when it is just you sitting down to work each day. I guess I got involved in coworking originally because I was working out of cafes and wanted a more collaborative, productive environment to go to and work around other people in.
