When basketball players are offering more cogent commentary on racial issues than cultural institutions, you know we have a cultural relevance problem. Museums are a part of this educational and cultural network. Colleges are addressing greater cultural and racial understanding in various courses. Things must change.

Note from Beth: Lately, a question on my mind is whether or not the concept of Networked Nonprofits is a global one as I’ve had the opportunity to share some of the ideas beyond the US borders in Kenya and UK. I think Pratham Books , an NGO in India, is a networked nonprofit.

Last week, I attended Structure Lab , a half-day workshop on legal and financial structures for ventures for social good. While I'm not sure I'd recommend the workshop (it was quite expensive for what I received), I definitely benefited from the format. The good news? The bad news? readers, who I see as potential co-conspirators).

The theme is "Civic Dialogue," and the journal includes articles on the historical, cultural, media, and museum practice of getting people talking to each other (including one by me about such endeavors on the web). But now, many bars are also offering participatory experiences around content.

Family Art Workshops" suffer from anemic participation whereas multi-generational festivals are overrun with families. This approach allows us to sidestep the question of parallel versus pipeline programming and instead create a new pipeline that is about unexpected connections and social experiences.

I decided to stay a few extra days and facilitate a workshop on the Networked Nonprofit for local NGOs. The meeting and the workshop I facilitated took place in iHub, an open innovation space. She kindly live tweeted the workshop and took some photos. I favor a participatory approach with full room discussion.

We invite diverse locals to share their creative and cultural talents with our greater community at the museum. Printmakers leading workshops. Does community participation work for big cultural destinations too? It's a good question. You can show up to a public meeting and ask a question. You can join a movement.
