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. In 2003, my collaborator Stephanie and I began an excavation, declaring nothing for sale. George will respond to comments on this post and is also reachable here.

Note From Beth: Yesterday, I attended a convening called “ Beyond Dynamic Adaptability ” for arts organizations about cultural participation in the arts. The creative process of making films is opening up and the outreach efforts to spark social change through documentary media are becoming much more dynamic and collaborative.

I met her like ten years ago when I leading training workshops for arts educators, artists, and arts organizations throughout New York State on how to use the Internet.

I'd spent years leading workshops around the world as a consultant. I had lots of creative formats for drawing people out, sharing stories, and working collaboratively.

On Friday, I leave for Beirut for co-lead a series of Train the Trainers workshops as part of the E-Mediat Project , a capacity building project for NGOs to learn social media skills.

We invite diverse locals to share their creative and cultural talents with our greater community at the museum. Printmakers leading workshops. Does community participation work for big cultural destinations too? My museum can pursue radical collaboration because of our small size and local focus. It's a good question.
