Cyclists sign up for the ride and seek out people in their network to sponsor their participation. One of the reasons that challenge events work so well is something called the “martyrdom effect” which finds people feel better about a thing if they have to undergo adversity to achieve it.

For our band, blending of audience members into the show (and the show into the audience) reinforces the idea that the show is “for kids of all ages” and that older guys onstage doing the Hokey Pokey or young kids coming up and doing the Hand Jive is something that is entertaining for everyone. Local kids make good!

It's a project that requires people to do four things that are both simple and complex: go to the beach (anywhere in the world), make a piece of art using stones, photograph it, and then send the photos to the museum via the Web. The project has not had any heavy marketing campaigns or contests associated with it.
