In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

The majority of our public programs at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History are created and produced through community collaborations. Survey your collaborators extensively to find out: ways to improve for next time, what they appreciated, how or if they benefited from the collaboration, and what changes they’d like to see made.
