When we talk about museums or cultural institutions as vehicles of social and civic change, what does that really mean? Museum work is mostly non-contact. This may sound obvious, but the rhetoric about cultural organizations working in the social sphere often ignores our inherent differences. We all work for nonprofits.

It sounds creepy, but this is info you can (and should) use. The same is true for your museum. If they dropped their children off at parents-night-out be sure to mention the current promotion on family memberships. There’s no reason that arts and cultural organizations can’t do the same thing.
