As recently noted by Frank Barry of Blackbaud, technology plays a key role as the art and culture sector engages its audience. The app should: be accessible to the widest possible audience. Spread over three months and six cities, the festival presents a big challenge in keeping visitors engaged and informed.

I don’t always get a chance to sit in the audience and simply listen at conferences where I am keynoting because I’m also preparing my talk, but Peter’s keynote was after mine on the following day so I have a rare opportunity to immerse without being distracted because I was going to be speaking soon. Do the failure bow.

What should be our role(s)? Artists and arts organizations are contributing their spaces and their creative energies. And pop culture icons, from basketball players to rock stars , are making highly visible commentary with their clothes and voices. How do these issues relate to the mission and audience of your museum?

For years, I've been fascinated and a bit perplexed by the Elsewhere Collaborative , a thrift store turned artists' studio/living museum in Greensboro, North Carolina. Our archeology did not aim to uncover the hidden voice of my grandmother, but instead to begin an ongoing practice of recreation.

Who is served by your organization and who is the audience? Knowing more about your audience from who they are to what they want from you organizationally is critical to success. All staff members, regardless of role, need to understand the goals for the year. Give them an opportunity to have a voice about their experience.

A site also should have a voice and a tone that’s representative of the mission. Younger audiences have been shown to appreciate short videos, they have to be under 2-3 minutes but it can be a good way to get information out there to broader audiences. I also think you should steal like an artist. Allison Hossack.

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance. I learned to appreciate the audience reach of a big institution while vastly preferring the diversity of work and lack of bureaucracy of a small one. Like slam poetry, blogging is writing for an immediate and hopefully vocal audience.

I think about how hesitant I was to become an artist, because I didn't see role models, and even to this day how hard it is for me sometimes to find peers who are women of color, because of how systematically they are pushed out. I'm an artist and an institution builder. Everyone is entitled to art in their life.

Thia is both where the bravery of the NMAI and their lack of responsiveness to the audience comes in. So the direct voice got straight-jacketed into a frame of museum methods that did not exactly fit. When no one voice is regarded as authoritative or objective, how does the story get told?

The first essay, Let's Empower All Those Who Have a Stake in Exhibitions: About the uses, meaning, and failings of the team approach , advocates for a multi-pronged approach to exhibition design involving "three equal advocacy positions - content, design, and audience." But what about the soul of the exhibition?
