Writing my masters thesis for Gothenburg University’s International Museum Studies program while also working four days a week as the Director of Community Programs at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History this spring was certainly a challenge but also an incredible opportunity.

I get excited about a lot of things in my work at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. That's how I felt when artist Ze Frank got in touch to talk about a potential museum exhibition to explore a physical site/substantiation for his current online video project, A Show (s ee minute 2:20, above).

The majority of our public programs at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History are created and produced through community collaborations. It’s not unusual for us to meet with an environmental activist, a balloon artist, a farmer, and the Mayor of Santa Cruz all in one day. Large and small (or no) followings.

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. Creative stuff: Things unique to your organization including the ability to create art, music, poetry, dance, etc. More than “observing, but less than “touching” is “interacting.”

I'm thrilled to share this brilliant guest post by Marilyn Russell, Curator of Education at the Carnegie Museum of Art. We also wanted to: Inspire visitors to engage in active looking: notice, reflect, react, and respond to the works of art and to the interdisciplinary quality of the exhibition. Reassert the "forum"?

It combines a job bank with news about developments in the gaming world and, my favorite, an impressive collection of feature articles on the art, business, and production of games. Getting people to play scientist or art historian may be a tougher sell than getting them to play James Bond. In my head, I say, “I am in a museum.

It made me think in ways that I haven't before about the relation of art--as expressive culture--to democracy. It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. We cut it in the first week after opening.

We did this graffiti interactive via Flickr. We saw that these artists were using the wall, then telling us about it on Flickr. We’d received a video PSA from Pratt students, and I proposed the contest. Any time you see an interactive on our site—we have a plaintext version of that wherever possible.

The Detroit Institute of Arts has been a precious anchor where many of us have created memories that helped define who we are today. It is hard to describe the gratification of seeing families meaningfully engaging with the Asian interactives we prepared with many advisors that included local members of the Asian communities.

But most importantly, we love for these sessions to be interactive, so feel free to chat in your questions and comments along the way. Maybe I am teaching computer classes, or English as a second language classes, maybe I’m teaching those and I have 10 students. You should have it by dinner time, that’s my promise to you.

Louis Post-Dispatch published the kind of "how sausage is made" story that rarely gets written about the arts. Outdoor movies at the art museum? Why do we count participants in an art activity for families at a community center but not members of the Rotary Club to whom I give a presentation about the museum? Louis count it.

In April, I gave 13 UW graduate students a simple challenge: make an exhibit that gets strangers to talk to each other. Last month, student Nicole Robert wrote about the concept for Advice: Give it, Get it, Flip it, Fuck it. In Praise of the Post-It There's lots of post-it-powered art on the web these days (like this and this ).
