I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. They present masterpieces by white male artists and innovations by white male scientists. I never saw comparable adjectives used in the European art labels at the museum.

A year ago, I wrote a post speculating about whether events (institutionally-produced programs) might be a primary driver for people to attend museums, with exhibitions being secondary. Many museums, big and small, thrive on events. At our museum, about 68% of casual visitors (non-school tours) attended through events this year.

But NFTs are designed to give you something that can’t be copied: ownership of the work (though the artist can still retain the copyright and reproduction rights, just like with physical artwork). That really depends on whether you’re an artist or a buyer. I’m an artist. Could I pull off a museum heist to steal NFTs?

Demographics like a donor’s age, education level, and occupation are the clearest places to start with donor segmentation. For instance, a large nonprofit focused on preserving arts and culture might segment its audience by location and focus its stories on the most well-known museums or cultural landmarks in a donor’s state.

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. The kind of art I do is art that gets engaged into the public.

If you think about what a museum curator does, it is very similar. One 21 century work place literacy is sense-making of information together and alone.

How do you help visitors know what they can and cannot do in your museum? Most museums have this figured out: they have signs, they have guards, they have cases over the objects. And this works pretty well in science museums, where designers talk about "hardening" exhibits to withstand the more aggressive touchers among us.
