Our curator writes labels about licking the art. Talking about money, openly. I led a session with Eric Siegel and Ellen Rosenthal on museum business models and some of the issues we grapple with in managing money. Merilee Mostov and the Columbus Museum of Art. Participatory art and co-creation on the rise.

A few good links that have been zooming across my screen: A long and incredibly thoughtful piece by Diana Ragsdale about the value proposition of arts organizations in the midst of a "culture change."

Looking closer, I saw that each seat had its own handwritten label, telling the story of the Philadelphia cultural institution from which it originated. The chairs were cast-off art, reclaimed as art, available for people to take off the hooks and use. What kind of an art institution is this? There's no money to fix them.

Like many people in the arts, I'm interested in new models that help people combine mission-driven work with an entrepreneurial spirit. This relationship bit helped me think about how different kinds of folks will be involved with a highly participatory, community-co-created project in the long-term.

We're taking the art of freelancing for writers, and making it much more transparent and much more public. We look for people to partner with them, whether it be members of the community to donate small amounts of money, or news organizations to provide editorial to then push the story into completion.

We need translators within each cultural context. Our museum in Santa Cruz has been slammed by those who believe participatory experiences have gone too far. We always knew that the inclusion of participatory and community-centered practices in arts institutions was controversial. Some people commune with the art.

We don’t have the money about 11%. The kind of strategic planning processes that I lead are inclusive and participatory which means that the group is consulted, the vision of the group, the energy, we kind of tap into the energy, vision, knowledge, experience of the people who will be doing the work in order to make plans.

I mean, it’s amazing and some of the things that are happening are not about money. Now, this might seem absurd and on some level it is, but what they succeeded in doing here was creating an experience that was so richly participatory that actually the experience of imagining the game was more important than the game itself.

I didn't grow up staring open-mouthed at natural history dioramas or wandering through art galleries. There are many parallels between free-choice learning and participatory design.

The ideal of third places, that attracts we cultural heritage types, is a democratic space where civic life is built collaboratively and at a personal level. Nina's research keeps finding that the right kind of constraints work to produce a better participatory museum experience. That’s our main difference with Oldenburg.
