They planned to paint the outline of Santa Cruz County, print out photos of a series of important landmarks or icons throughout the county, and then paint those items onto the map. These are both busy people, and while they are very artistic, neither is a crack drawer. Two weeks ago, two of my staff members came to me with a problem.

I''ve seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

Engagement with local artists. One of the things we love about exhibiting local artists is that they are often here to talk with visitors about their work. It's not unusual to see an artist showing a visitor how she constructed something or created an effect. We do have friendly gallery hosts, but not every hour of the day.

The rules are clear: anyone who lives in Minnesota and considers her/himself an artist can contribute one piece. I also think it would be useful for the MIA to aggregate blog posts, Flickr photos, etc.

Let's say you spend a year working with a group of teens to co-create an exhibition, or you invite members and local artists to help redesign the lobby.

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance. Now, as a freelancer, my work combines long-term, creatively challenging participatory exhibit projects with lots of little workshops and brainstorming sessions with institutions around the world. There is lots of room for new voices online.
