I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months. Yesterday, a lovely article came out in the local paper about what we're trying to do to become a thriving community hub. Lots more on this in the months to come, but I thought you might like to read the article.

I get excited about a lot of things in my work at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. But every once in awhile, something extraordinary comes up, something that isn't emergent or evolving or encouraging but something that explodes into your life like a comet knocking on your door.

These are the slides and notes for the talk I gave at the American Alliance of Museums conference on Monday, April 27 about the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. When I became the director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History four years ago, I took this work with me. We are unapologetic about focusing local.

For years, I've been fascinated and a bit perplexed by the Elsewhere Collaborative , a thrift store turned artists' studio/living museum in Greensboro, North Carolina. Over the past seven years, this exploration has been undertaken by a staff of artists and more than 35 creators each year participating in our residency program.

Tale #3: A decade or so ago, when I worked at a certain cathedral in [another state], I was sent an envelope full of grocery coupons and pornography from a man whose accompanying hand-written letter (yes… all caps) claimed him to be the grandson of Michelangelo (long life spans in that family). Turns out he was wanted for being a scam artist.

As I was reading The Great Good Place I identified with Oldenburg’s description of Main Street USA, small town America, and rural life. Mom and pop stores, a few chain stores, one long main street, pizza shops, and local restaurants are surrounded by a picturesque farmscape. Our museum is in small town America.

MSI did three things that most organizations don't or can't do when they set up a video contest: They got a TON of local, national, and international press. Nothing warms my heart like seeing outtakes of a guy trying to scale the walls of MSI, or a man spinning a yarn about his family's long history sleeping in museums.

I was fascinated by the project’s innovative approach to collecting, sharing, and connecting people through locally-produced media. One lives a double life as a soul music collector and DJ. Last month, I got a chance to talk with Nell Taylor, founder of the Chicago Underground Library. They blame it on the general public reading less.

It is hard to describe the gratification of seeing families meaningfully engaging with the Asian interactives we prepared with many advisors that included local members of the Asian communities. The label did not address that the artist sexually abused her, gave her syphilis, and colonized her home. Thank you, DIA, for everything.

The level of joy and celebration was unforgettable because of what we were making happen, and the history we were making each day that we were there. While many of the women had traveled the world, many of them had also devoted their lives to local solutions. Literally, relationships were formed that will last a lifetime.

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. In 1995, I'm giving you my life story; I took a class called Challenging White Supremacy. First of all, who identifies with the word "activism"? Who identifies as an activist?
