An HBCU Midnight Brunch during Juneteenth weekend at the Roots 101: African American Museum , a nonprofit in Louisville, Kentucky, exemplifies this fusion of the past and what is to come. When we talk about history, we always say we teach the past while we teach the future. Looking to the future. HBCUs are also about the future.

Is your museum running on interns? It is a strong, museum-focused complement to an excellent three-parter on Createquity about the ethics and future of unpaid arts internships. I got my first real job in a museum (at the Guggenheim) after a life-changing internship. My supervisor was amazing, caring, and supportive.

Last week, I visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle. I've long admired this museum for its all-encompassing commitment to community co-creation , and the visit was a kind of pilgrimage to their new site (opened in 2008). I'm always a bit nervous when I visit a museum I love from afar. What if it isn't what I expected?

If you run a nonprofit museum, advocacy group, animal shelter or environmental protection organization, starting a summer camp could be a logical next step toward rewarding your members, donors and supporters. Almost any nonprofit that runs programs geared toward children could expand upon them in the form of a summer camp.

For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. Many sponsors and donors want recognition for their support. In other cases, the organization and the donors want to send a message to other donors that this organization has broad and deep support.

If the point of the Discovery Center is to teach students the facts of the Grenada invasion, it's reasonable to create a program in which there's a right and wrong answer about what happened in history. This time, the onscreen actors and educator don't say "good job" or reward the students for their desire to avoid invasion. Maybe, maybe not.
