A cheerful curly-haired deli owner stands in front of 30 of us and shares a quote he loves: "Artists live in the present and write detailed histories of the future." In the Zingerman's model, visioning is for everyone at all levels of the organization. A vision is a detailed history of the future. WHAT IS A VISION?

And my museum, and this new model, as a space for them to do so. 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.

A Community-Based Approach to Collecting and Cataloging CUL is a replicable model for community archives that accepts every piece of print media from a certain area without making quality or importance judgments, going back as far in history as possible. Geography is fluid, though.

As a forest-dwelling hippie, I know very little about reality TV, but it''s clear that the model of "do an ambitious, wacky project really fast" is now tied closely to a slew of shows about everything from cooking to art-making. Or they might have chosen to make up a fictitious narrative around history artifacts.

Last week, I talked with Tina Olsen, Director of Education and Public Programs at the Portland Art Museum, about their extraordinary Object Stories project.

Or you can hold a unique one-off event and gain a lot of publicity—like goat yoga or cardio drumming! The ice cream social is also part of our nation’s history—the first occurred in the White House in 1802 during Thomas Jefferson’s presidency. Paper mâché is very easy to make, and when using a model, pretty easy to work with too.

I think about how hesitant I was to become an artist, because I didn't see role models, and even to this day how hard it is for me sometimes to find peers who are women of color, because of how systematically they are pushed out. I'm an artist and an institution builder. Everyone is entitled to art in their life.

If anyone out there is considering creating an industry catch-all site for museum-related content, I highly recommend Gamasutra as a model. When I’m in MOMA, at least I know that as I go from room to room of the main collection, I’m not “missing” any particular era, genre, or artist. In my head, I say, “I am in a museum. Where am I?

It seemed to be a really good and sustainable model, and we raised around $300,000 doing that kind of work. The other thing that Off the Mat, Into the World does is that we create and model our own outreach projects, but on a grander scale. We brought in survivors of the genocide. It was so fun. These kids want to learn.
