Arts Director Participatory Teen 
Museum 2.0
MAY 21, 2014
I''ve now been the executive director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History for three years. When I look back at some recent projects that I''m most excited about (like this teen program ), I realize that I had very little to do with their conception or execution. Participatory work can be very labor-intensive.

You''re in for a treat, with upcoming posts on creativity, collections management, elitism, science play, permanent participatory galleries, partnering with underserved teens, magic vests, and more. I''m equally amazed when a comment comes in from a MAH member as I am when one comes in from an Australian opera director.

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? That's what I found myself wondering again and again in the too-short hour I spent with the director of Temple Contemporary, Rob Blackson. They were there for artist talks.

Elaine Gurian once told me there are two ways for institutions to innovate: they can be so small that no one notices them, or they can have a director who is willing to put his/her neck on the line for the innovation. Maybe the director is obsessed with “company secrets” and you’ll never be able to share behind-the-scenes work.

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.

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?
