A year ago, I wrote a post speculating about whether events (institutionally-produced programs) might be a primary driver for people to attend museums, with exhibitions being secondary. Many museums, big and small, thrive on events. At our museum, about 68% of casual visitors (non-school tours) attended through events this year.

When we talk about museums or cultural institutions as vehicles of social and civic change, what does that really mean? Museum work is mostly non-contact. This may sound obvious, but the rhetoric about cultural organizations working in the social sphere often ignores our inherent differences. We all work for nonprofits.
