I was having a conversation the other day about the ways in which Pintrest and Instagram can be used at nonprofit organizations. They provide a way to share, instantly and on a large scale, insight into what is going on at your organization. This picture got over 10,000 likes and lots of comments. Picture of the Day.

Earlier this month, the Detroit Institute of Arts was "saved" by a voter-approved property tax (called a "millage") in its three surrounding counties. I'm focusing on the community response to the prospect of the millage and the way the public debate reflects broader conversations about the public value of the arts.

The Denver Art Museum is no stranger to community collaborations, but we’ve been dipping in our toe a little more deeply when it comes to developing permanent participatory installations. Who are all of these people? What inspires them?
