That's a more complicated question. It's a question of HOW we decide, not just WHO makes the decision.

It's pretty simple.

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? The question drives the work.

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?

Cultural icons serve many important purposes, but these, I have reluctantly begun to realize, may be quite different from, and perhaps mutually exclusive with, museums focused on community well-being.

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. Outside the U.S.

Imagine this situation: You go to an arts event, one of a type you rarely or never take part in. This is a question I've been puzzling over now for a few months, both professionally and personally. There's been a lot of innovation in arts programming in the last few years. How do you form an arts habit?

This post is even more relevant today to the broader conversation about audience diversity in the arts than when it was published three years ago.

The landscape of the nonprofit industry is changing – there’s no question about that. It may make more sense for arts and cultural organizations to register as a #BCorp versus a 501(c)(3). This generation of philanthropic teens love to learn from their peers and their own discovery.

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?
