Here are four surprising things Oldenburg describes about third places—characteristics I think would be quite difficult for cultural institutions to assume: The primary attraction of a third place is the patrons, not the décor, the hosts, or the activities provided by management. The cultural service model is antithetical to the third place.

2020 will be remembered as the year that changed grantmaking. Foundations are scrambling to award grants faster, and nonprofits are pressing to eliminate all non-value-added activity.
