Recently, I was giving a presentation about participatory techniques at an art museum, when a staff member raised her hand and asked, "Did you have to look really hard to find examples from art museums? Aren't art museums less open to participation than other kinds of museums?" I was surprised by her question.

In the spirit of a popular post written earlier this year , I want to share the behind the scenes on our current almost-museumwide exhibition at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, Santa Cruz Collects. The content focuses on the question of WHY we collect and how our collections reflect our individual and community identities.

If someone asked you that question, how would you answer? Answers will differ depending on who's asking, but they are also influenced by the designed environment in which questions are asked.

So I felt lucky last week to learn not only about an innovative arts exhibition employing geocaching, but to discover that its exhibit developer, Seth! to ask him all the dumb questions about geocaching and museums you can imagine… and a few more. Traveling public art! Leary , is something of an expert. I sat down with Seth!

Let's examine each of these questions, and the related projects, more closely. There is the Art Gallery of Ontario's portrait exhibition In Your Face , for which the museum solicited and displayed thousands of visitor-created self-portraits. This relates to an interesting question: are museum FOR visitors or are they BY visitors?

My burning question is whether these should remain exclusive from each other. It was co-designed by staff across the Ontario Science Centre, teen co-conspirators, and visitors via a series of ingenious brainstorming and making exercises developed by Julie Bowen and her brilliant team.

At the big one, I worked on a small project with teens to design science exhibits for community centers in their own neighborhoods. I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling. I survived the first half of 2003 financially on art modeling and poetry gigs.

Some of the most interesting questions included: how do you verify the accuracy and authenticity of visitor-contributed content?

I’m thinking of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which is trying to be a museum for people, but is also a national and collection-based place. The question you have to ask is: who are the people who have issues with what they are doing? Some art people would say it’s not a museum since it’s not real stuff.

Later, Elaine comments: Now, after researching the topic, I am less certain that broadening the audience for museums is achievable in general. The Brooklyn Museum of Art found that skateboarders were using their entrance plaza and invited them to continue. And that gets back to my friend’s question: Do museums really want this?

So send in your questions and comments. It is now, and it’s mainly because it’s a quick way to answer three questions maybe, won’t take a ton of your time, but it will give the funder a very specific idea of what you’re applying for and it can tell them right away, “Is this a fit or isn’t it a fit?

But this isn't just a financial question--it's also a question of reach. There are three key questions museum decision-makers should ask themselves in evaluating the value of virtual visitors: How much do we value outreach in our educational programming and content delivery? So where do online initiatives fit in?

This is not to say that science centers are more censored than art or history museums—every kind of museum has its own hang-ups. Imagine an art museum that allowed patrons to bang on the exhibits the way you can in a science center. And so my question is, why are we keeping them away? Why aren't we developing our audiences?"

But the way I like to work is just put your stuff in the chat, put your questions in there or the Q&A, that’s even better, because it doesn’t get kind of lost and then everyone can vote things up. So if you do have questions, try to put them in the Q&A. There are people doing art. Put them in the chat.
