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? It encourages process-driven performances and art projects. It takes the kind of risks that a university art gallery should take. They were there for artist talks.

It made me think in ways that I haven't before about the relation of art--as expressive culture--to democracy. It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. Note: you can view these photos of the exhibition on Flickr here.)

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.

I used the example of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, which has a mission statement that includes unusual words like “bold” and “fearless.” I worked on one project in which the client institution thought they wanted unfettered teen expression. Ideas professional development. Ask leaders to be accountable to the mission.

Visitor Co-Created Museum Experiences This session was a dream for me, one that brought together instigators of three participatory exhibit projects: MN150 (Kate Roberts), Click! So far, most participatory museum design projects are heavily guided by the institution. MN150 will have formal summative evaulation, which is wonderful.

We're always happy for more bodies in the door, but if supporting teens means alienating seniors, there's a problem. The article references connecting with young people via social media, at-risk youth via exhibit co-creation, and urban creatives via public art installations.

On 8.16.08, the Museum of Art and History (Santa Cruz, CA) hosted FreelanceCamp, a free unconference that brought 150 designers and techies from the south bay area together to talk shop. But these events have benefits both in terms of audience development and word-of-mouth marketing. Projects participatory museum.

There was a wonderful example at the Ontario Science Center in their Hot Zone area, which features several voting and commenting kiosks popular with teens. Unfortunately, most talk back walls don't support the grouping of visitor contributions or attempt to encourage conversational threads to develop.

The recent flurry of restrictions that has sent teens fleeing? I can just imagine the headline: CHILD MOLESTERS CALL ON ART, VICTIMS. How can going to an art museum be more like going to a convention for people who love art? Tags: participatory museum visitors. The irritating design? Or is it the stalkers?

Imagine this situation: You go to an arts event, one of a type you rarely or never take part in. There's been a lot of innovation in arts programming in the last few years.

At the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History , we''re approaching this challenge through a different lens: social bridging. We intentionally develop events and exhibitions that matchmake unlikely partners--opera and ukelele, Cindy Sherman and amateur photographers, welding and knitting. And rarely the twain shall meet.

We are hiring for a School Programs Coordinator to wrangle the 3,500+ students and their teachers who come to the museum every year for a tour and hands-on experience in our art and history exhibitions. How can we develop programming that encourages students to make connections with kids of other ages or from other parts of our County?

Our entire strategy at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History is rooted in community participation. Teens advocating for all-gender bathrooms. That means offering clear, visible, appealing participatory experiences that enhance the destination experience. Printmakers leading workshops. I appreciate the big guys too.
