You do not need to be an “artist” to make a postcard, but each participant is surprised and delighted by their creativity and to see that their cards contain colors, words and images that reflect their strongest selves. Yet, I wanted to be that artist and still do. Our grassroots campaign involves all ages from teens to seniors.

Trying to engaged the teen-to-twenty-something who normally may not use the research library. There are a lot of places online where people can meet up, have game jams, etc. We want to focus on experiences and the experience of culture is an interaction, that’s why these places need to be live.

A community by GEOGRAPHY is defined by place. The simplest version of this community is the place where you live. But you might also feel part of a geographic community related to the place you grew up, or a place you used to live, or a place you often visit. A community by IDENTITY is defined by attributes.

Over the past three years, we''ve tripled our attendance, doubled our budget, and, most importantly, established deep and diverse relationships with community members, artists, and organizations across Santa Cruz County. How do we share our bifurcated story as both a place to engage with art and history AND a place that builds community?

Performances just for teens. But it was more like 60%--enough for all those young people to feel like they were in the right place, but not enough to feel like it was "their" event alone. Or do they just need to be welcoming, open, comfortable places that offer a diversity of experience? There were twenty-year old hippies.

As cultural anthropology has swung away from a vision of authoritative history and toward the embrace of multiple perspectives, there is potential for those stories to come from all over the place, including visitors themselves. Finally, they are commonly used by school and family groups as learning places.

Our museum is highly participatory: plenty of opportunities for visitors to contribute, for artists to collaborate, for community members to co-create. Our greatest champions and our loudest critics agree: our museum has become an inclusive community gathering place. But almost ALL of those opportunities are facilitated by people.

American Edmonia "Wildfire" Lewis is considered the first woman of Native American and African descent to achieve international fame as a sculptor at a time when artists of color were hardly celebrated and slavery was still legal. Gentileschi is remembered, however, as an accomplished Baroque artist whose trials did not define her art.

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance. At the big one, I worked on a small project with teens to design science exhibits for community centers in their own neighborhoods. The Spy Museum was a dream place for me. blog's popularity was a case of "right place, right time."

A group in their late teens/early 20s were wandering through the museumwide exhibition on love. At the adjacent table, my colleague Stacey Garcia was meeting with a local artist, Kyle Lane-McKinley, to talk about an upcoming project. When I walked by the first time, the teens were collaging and Kyle and Stacey were talking.

Gary Hamel, a strategy professor recently wrote "If you're a CIO, you need to spend a lot of time out on the fringes of the Web because that's where the innovation's taking place. The Teen Party. You need to spend a lot of time with people under 25 years old." . Are we paying attention? I mentioned the need to pay attention.

The exhibition is far from perfect, but it's a big step towards reflecting the "thriving, central gathering place" of our strategic vision. We experimented with many different forms of visitor participation throughout the building, trying to balance social and individual, text-based and artistic, cerebral and silly. A DIY wedding!

As Eric said at one point, "kids--our target audience--are living in a world of things they choose to consume that is so full of sex, so full of irony, so full of subjectivity, and when they come to the museum it is one of the few places in the world they don't see that stuff. And so my question is, why are we keeping them away?

Paul home over time, or the Boston Museum of Science's beautiful theater experience about Nikola Tesla, or an incredible single artist show, it stands out. They led me to places I never would have gone otherwise. This seems strange given that museums are organized around objects. It's unforgettable.
