We partnered with foster youth, former foster youth, artists, and community advocates to create an exhibition that used art to spark action on issues facing foster youth. You can download it for free right now. We hope it's a useful set of recipes you can riff off of to co-create your own project on a local issue that matters to you.

Over the past two years, the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History has undergone a significant transformation of program, audience, and resources. Our revolution is predicated on three big ideas: Art and history are something you do, not just something you learn about. You want to have an artist collective sleepover at the museum?

Tale #4: Most recently we had one alumnus promise us his art collection and then went to post an article online about how he strung us along – he actually posted our email exchanges online through a local newspaper where he was a freelancer…. Turns out he was wanted for being a scam artist. That was printed on his checks.

We scrounged for free couches. We invited local artists and community groups to perform. We make room for interns and artists and people who walk in the door with crazy ideas. The only way to reconcile our resources with our goals was to start doing whatever we could to start nudging in the direction of our dreams.

I was fascinated by the project’s innovative approach to collecting, sharing, and connecting people through locally-produced media. We’re building new cataloging software that we eventually hope to provide free of charge to jumpstart other collections.

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.

It''s about museum attendance and how the five big, free museums in St. Summertime concerts at the history museum? If someone comes to an exhibition opening for the free food, do they count? Louis Post-Dispatch published the kind of "how sausage is made" story that rarely gets written about the arts. Louis count it. Those count.

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. We're ignorant and don't understand the history of these oppressions and how they undermine our work as activists, and as allies, and undermines our solidarity with each other.
