Grant proposals. For many arts/museum professionals, writing text in 100-word chunks is a daily activity. Then I started using it for chunks of grant proposals. In proposals, it can be easy to fall into jargon and long, convoluted sentences. Exhibit labels. Promotional text. Word counts matter there too.

I'm cranking away on a grant proposal, when suddenly, a classical rendition of "All the Single Ladies" wafts up the stairs. It invites visitors to make the museum better. When visitors share their brilliance, it brings the museum to life. This is the participatory museum, played out loud. someone asks.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Will the artists ruin the museum with their plant vacations and coatroom concerts? But for museum and art wonks, it could be. Will the bureaucracy of the institution drown the artists in red tape?

Others are looking at no demand at all, and with it, no revenue, because their mission involved gathering large groups of people in places like theaters, galleries, and museums. So, you would think that the most pressing skill to build is in revenue generation, like fundraising , government grants, or fee-for-service programs.

Instead of grant deliverables or profit, passion and impact are the bottom line motivators for change. If there’s an idea that the community is behind, and a project or plan that’s adopted (whether it’s a new way of operating or a new tool), then it moves forward, regardless of “who” thought it up or campaigned for it.
