This week marks five years since the book The Participatory Museum was first released. I thought the pinnacle of participatory practice was an exhibit that could inspire collective visitor action without facilitation. If participation was my mantra from 2007-2011, community has been my mantra since then. Build community.

It’s participatory. Stories are a universal and innate way that we communicate with each other in our daily lives. Much of the work that non-profits are doing is not necessarily relatable to the average community member or supporter. That means it’s what we are doing. Whereas “story” is a noun.

In early 2014, we developed a set of five engagement goals: Relevant, Sustainable, Bridging, Participatory, Igniting. I don''t think these goals are universal by any means to the museum or arts field. They are idiosyncratic to our institution, our mission, and our community.
