We actively seek participation and develop structured opportunities for visitors to collaborate with us. Community members, artists, and organizations increasingly see our museum as a place where they can advance their own goals, and so they approach us. It happens because people see an opening where there wasn't one before.

In my experience, innovation is about flexibility, capacity, and collaborative relationships. Guard staff who are willing to let an artist step between two panes of glass to perform. That said, the fact that we work with contemporary artists can also create a lot of stress in our institutional systems.

The museum gets better the more people use it. 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 scrounged for free couches.

We invited community members in, to be active contributors, collaborators, and co-creators in our museum space. But when people told us what they loved about the museum, they didn’t use the word “participation.” It is a group of people connected by something shared.
