Last month, the Irvine Foundation put out a new report, Getting In On the Act , about participatory arts practice and new frameworks for audience engagement. Here's what I think is really strong about the report: Coordinated, succinct research findings supporting the rise of active arts engagement.

Also excited to start editing my Arts and Healing Podcast interview with the lovely Susannah Conway about the healing power of photography. I haven't stopped listening to it since.

I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months. But the point is that the MAH, like just about every other museum in the known universe, was content to define the museum experience as something removed from the outside world, a rarefied church-like space of refined artistic reflection.

Two weeks ago, Roberto Bedoya asked several arts bloggers, including me, to write a post reflecting on Whiteness and its implications for the arts. I am in no way an expert in issues related to racial and ethnic representation in the arts. They present masterpieces by white male artists and innovations by white male scientists.

The "Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images" exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art manages to both celebrate and betray fair use at the same time. These are canonical fair uses -- an artist who takes from another artist and uses his work to make new work.

I've written before about the inspiring work that the Brooklyn Museum of Art is doing with their community-focused efforts. They're now running a compelling experiment in crowd-sourced exhibition creation and curation via the photography exhibition Click. All evaluations are private; all artists are unnamed. Let's start simple.

We saw that these artists were using the wall, then telling us about it on Flickr. If you look at the IMA (Indianapolis Museum of Art), they’ve got that going on in YouTube. Most of the stuff in our museum is public domain, and we have a very good policy that non-commerical photography is okay.
