I can't say that any one experience--working on a collage with other visitors, swinging on a hammock, discovering a participatory display for pocket artifacts in the bathroom--directly contributed to increased attendance and giving. They all have in concert, and they build on each other.

Or you can read this condensed version of the talk.

When I worked briefly with the Balboa Park Online Collaborative to conceptualize a mobile phone-based game to connect visitors to the park to its cultural institutions and history, I knew Ken would be the perfect person to make it happen. An official-looking decal for the “GISKIN ANOMALY SURVEY PROJECT” appeared on a window in the park.

There are many different forms of engagement with many different outcomes depending on your goals, your project, or your institution." Inspired by Stacy, I wanted to share some of the work we are doing at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History to clarify what we mean by engagement. But just naming it encourages us to talk about it.

Our museum in Santa Cruz has been slammed by those who believe participatory experiences have gone too far. We always knew that the inclusion of participatory and community-centered practices in arts institutions was controversial. To me, the backlash against participatory and community-centered experiences is not surprising.

Consider three very different talkbacks in the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History''s fall exhibition, Santa Cruz is in the Heart: cocktail napkins, rear view mirrors, and refrigerator certificates. A good measurement doesn''t need to exhaustively answer every single question about a project. Also, a sidenote.

Carefully vetting each project and partner is the due diligence required to make good decisions. Grantees painstakingly provide long histories of past performance, financial projections, and thorough descriptions of expected results. On the surface this feels reasonable, but in practice significant issues and challenges emerge.

MN150 is a newish permanent exhibition (opened in Oct 2007) at the Minnesota History Center that marks the sesquicentennial of Minnesota with 150 of “the most influential forces in the state’s history.” How did this project get started? I was really surprised by the range and just how much people know about history.
