In one common scenario, a parent gets their children involved in an organization and that child continues their support into the next generation. Also involved in your organization is her daughter Nina, a 22-year-old literacy coach who volunteers her time for many of your projects focused on children.

For a little history here, the game CryptoKitties was the first major use case for NFTs and has been a huge success.

We did significant academic research on the millennial generation and emerging giving trends. At the time, the millennial generation was getting a bad rap; everyone envisioned them as kids absorbed only in their screens that didn’t care what happened around them. There is a psychology around generating engagement for a cause.

I'm working on a section of my book about sharing social objects and am writing about the most common way that visitors share their object experiences in museums: through photographs. Revenue Streams: Museums want to maintain control of sales of "officially sanctioned" images of objects via catalogues and postcards.

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. There is infinite demand for their services, whereas we struggle to generate demand for ours. Last week I had a conversation that changed my perspective on this question.

This is the second installation in a series of posts on the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (MAH)'s development of Abbott Square , a new creative community plaza in downtown Santa Cruz. We started designing ways to make Abbott Square a desirable “first landing place” in downtown—especially for families with children.

Nina has written a fantastic book engagement called The Participatory Museum. Imagine sitting around a conference table planning an upcoming project that involves user-generated content. Despite its long history, few researchers studied the use and impact of citizen science until the 1980s.

When talking about active audience engagement with friends in the museum field, I often hear one frustrated question: how can we get adults to participate? In children's museums and science centers, this relationship is at its most extreme. And yet in the museum world, we still see interactives as being mostly for kids.

There are plenty of great arguments out there for WHY to make museums free. It''s much easier for art and history museums than for those museums that rely on admissions for a majority of their income (science, children''s). Nationally, admissions income generates only 1-4% of most art museums'' annual revenue.

For years, I've been fascinated and a bit perplexed by the Elsewhere Collaborative , a thrift store turned artists' studio/living museum in Greensboro, North Carolina. By calling ourselves a museum, we respond to those cultural institutions that have separated practice from production, exhibition from process, and work from play.

Rabinowitz commented that "as a 40-year veteran of history museum interpretation, I can say that I never learned so much from and about visitors." This is the opposite situation of the previous design goal, one typical in science and children's museums. A lone "What do you think?"

Plus resale royalties keep generating revenue automatically to the original owners. . Recently, Save the Children partnered with NFDoge, a platform that sells “Non-Fungible Doge” artwork. These tend to generate high viewership but come with a higher cost as well. Real-world example. Making the most of mid-level.

It was exhilarating to see them inspired to create their own meanings in response: lovers whispering together in alcoves, people of all ages writing and drawing on walls and post-its, children painting, everyone sitting rapt before screens. So many museum exhibitions relegate the participatory bits in at the end. with sharpies.

Here's the basic idea: while you are at the museum, you save digitizable content--either content you make (photos of yourself) or content you collect (museum-supplied text or media of interest). The personal webpage has many adherents, and some institutions, like The Tech Museum in San Jose, have been offering them for almost a decade.

Why do you care about and or work in museums? I don't work in museums because I love them. I didn't grow up staring open-mouthed at natural history dioramas or wandering through art galleries. When I visit a new city, I don't clamor to visit museums. I don't work in museums because I love them. I go on hikes.

It's late at night at the Museum Curator smackdown. Museum folks often talk about the time decades ago when museums began to shift from places for objects to places for visitors. My background is in science and children's museums, where it's relatively easy to keep visitors in the foreground. Is the fix in?
