I''d just met a local researcher and I thought she''d be a great person to talk to about it. We ran with it and have since generated data about decision-making, cooperation, competition and negotiation for scientists (and also some artists) to play with.

Community First Program Design At the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History , we've gravitated towards a "community first" program planning model. Emily started by honing in on local teens' assets: creativity, activist energy, desire to make a difference, desire to be heard, free time in the afternoon. It's pretty simple.

There hasn’t been a history of collaboration between the museum and the film center and we wanted the chance to partner more deeply, and build a platform where we could continue to do so.

well, five areas of conversation revolve around, “What is impact reporting? ” And use the word “projected,” because we know that the service definitely impacted people in a positive way and we’re using local statistics to make sure that we’ve captured that impact. Why is it important?”

Does anyone in the room identify as an artist, by any chance? I just want to dispel the myth that we are not activists and that we are not artists.
