In December of 2012, the rock musician Beck released his latest album, Song Reader. Beck''s project is unusual because he deliberately resurrected a mostly-defunct participatory platform: sheet music for popular songs.

But we've just compiled all our attendance data for the past year at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (our fiscal year ends on June 30), and several people have written to me asking for the numbers behind our turnaround.

We've been offering a host of participatory and interactive experiences at the Museum of Art & History this season. I loved Jasper Visser's list of 30 "do's" for designing participatory projects earlier this month. This isn't even participatory. We had over 400 successful bangers with no injuries.

I LOVE the way the James Irvine Foundation presents their lessons learned from grant-making in the Arts Innovation Fund program. This is just a super-interesting review of an exhibition of damaged art. What happens to objects when they are no longer art? What happens to objects when they are no longer art?
