Some were there, including #nptech leaders like Beth Kanter and Lucy Bernholz, but aside from a small handful who’ve written on this topic in the past few months (see the Read More section below), there hasn’t been a very prominent nonprofit voice in the sharing economy, and that needs to change.

This week, Ian David Moss and I are each writing blog posts about our collaborative process to develop a theory of change at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History.

Interestingly--for good and ill--this transformative funding program coincided with a national funding crisis in the arts in the UK. While that was painful for the organizations involved, it also helped force the issue of whether participatory engagement could be core to a strong future business model for each organization or not.

He gently acknowledged the fundamental weirdness of meeting people in real-life, in confronting their "fleshiness," giving voice to anyone else's concerns about over-stimulation in the space. All in all, a beautiful and stimulating weekend.

In this report, the authors describe three specific models for public participation: contribution, collaboration, and co-creation. In the collaborative model, visitors are invited to serve as active partners in the creation of an institutional project which is originated and ultimately controlled by the institution.

I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling. After a long day running around a science center, I would show up at the Worcester Art Museum in the evening and make $20 just to stand around and listen to a painting instructor talk about art.

Participatory Design means Innovating the Process There are museums pursuing participatory design for a variety of reasons: to increase the diversity of voices represented in exhibits, to cast wider nets for great ideas on program topics, to engage particular partners in the exhibit design process. But it's never done.

But this traditional model is private, building relationships between individuals and the museum rather than individuals and the world. Maybe a comment card or book. There are experts in every industry, from books to film to art, and they have an important voice in the selection and presentation of content.

I heard Frank Warren speak at the American Visionary Art Museum. In 2004, for DC’s Art-o-Matic community show, he initiated an experiment called PostSecret. Within five weeks, he had 100 postcards on display at Art-o-Matic. What makes this such a great community art project? Be legible - use big, clear and bold lettering.

No one would contest the idea that most museum exhibitions, art shows, films, books, in short, most content experiences, have value both for the new and return user. We’ll spend the least time here, since these are the people who are presumably being served well by the co-creation models at hand. First, the newcomer.

Shelina was worried she had done more harm than good by coming into Zees life and leaving it just as abruptly.

The exhibition is varied, lively, and the art is of high quality. It feels like a vibrant art show. They modeled the competition after the British NPG’s well-established competition. The curators later contacted some of the people who had voted for that piece and asked them to comment on their selection.
