I''ve now been the executive director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History for three years. I''m open to any questions you want to share in the comments.

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?

It can lead to parallel programming: bike night for hipsters, bee night for hippies, family night for kiddies. At the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History , we''re approaching this challenge through a different lens: social bridging. This has led to a surprising outcome: we are now de-targeting many programs.

Most museums don't strategically set this number--too many operating costs are fixed by building needs--but they can use it to assess how expensive each visitor interaction is and evaluate the efficacy of programs. But this isn't just a financial question--it's also a question of reach. So where do online initiatives fit in?
