Our curator writes labels about licking the art. Merilee Mostov and the Columbus Museum of Art. This woman is killing it when it comes to developing in-gallery interactive experiences around permanent collections. In particular, we had a great group of 15 talking about participatory history experiences on Sunday.

We're looking for an Exhibitions Manager to join our team here at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. Some of the big questions on my mind include: If we change exhibitions more frequently, will it drive more repeat visitation? Will it give a sense of energy and change?

Last week I was honored to be a counselor at Museum Camp , an annual professional development event hosted by the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (MAH).

I''ve now been the executive director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History for three years. Participatory work can be very labor-intensive. I can''t harbor secret hopes that everyone will like it or that I can change their minds with goodwill. I firmly believe that a community-engaged museum is a web of interactions.

Most of my work contracts involve a conversation that goes something like this: "We want to find ways to make our institution more participatory and lively." Most museums that offer interactive exhibits, media elements, or participatory activities offer them alongside traditional labels and interpretative tools. Fabulous!" "But

As I imagined a world without Nina Simon ’s Participatory Museum , I felt sad about all the visitors whose voices (and post-it note comments) weren’t honored. The idea of interactives in the galleries (alongside collections) are now not novel or very controversial. And, well, the whole exercise was depressing.

I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling. After a long day running around a science center, I would show up at the Worcester Art Museum in the evening and make $20 just to stand around and listen to a painting instructor talk about art. You have to tell them what you want.

When you think of MySpace, what is the first thing that comes to mind? into the museum is the potential to encourage more positive in-museum interactions among strangers. But are these potential interactions safe? On MySpace, you are protected somewhat by the fact that you interact via a virtual rather than real identity.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? But for museum and art wonks, it could be. Several artists offer surprising insights into making participatory projects appealing to visitors. No, this is not a reality TV show. Mark: Right.

We’d love for these sessions to be interactive. There’s all kinds of videos and stuff that you can interact with there if you want to learn more about us. And so I, you know, want to hear from you because I know that whatever is on your mind, you’re able to add to the conversation. So don’t be shy.

The pilots showed us visitors were looking for a personal connection with our staff, wanted to talk about the art on view, and wanted that dialogue to be dynamic and speak to their needs directly. Our visitors were telling us they wanted personal connection and they wanted to talk about art. Goal 2: Looking closer at works of art.

I've been thinking recently about the "why" behind encouraging social interactions among strangers in museums. It doesn't matter if you are creating a didactic diorama or a participatory smorgasborg if the experience is fundamentally about your desires rather than visitors'. but didn't.
