This project wove together many different participatory threads. We commissioned new collaborative artwork. You can now download the Community Issue Exhibition Toolkit , a guide to this co-creation process. You can download it for free right now. What did we learn?

For example, when we held community meetings about the development of a new creative town square next to our museum, a group of middle/upper-class moms talked about not feeling safe downtown. Bridged groups are useful if you want people to collaborate on a more inclusive vision of the future.

Jane McGonigal and the folks from IFTF have released a new future-casting game/collaborative experience called Signtific Lab. In other words, a new kind of talkback board or participatory educational program. What excites me is that Signtific provides a very deliberate framework that prioritizes collaborative thinking and dialogue.

It was even more useful to learn how participatory writing visions can be. A SIMPLE WAY TO TRY IT This week, we experimented with visioning at my museum in an all-staff meeting. A small group volunteered to take this work forward to establish a shared vision we can then use to guide us to more collaboration in the coming months.

I'm not talking about guiding content; I'm talking about guiding form. Rabinowitz commented that "as a 40-year veteran of history museum interpretation, I can say that I never learned so much from and about visitors." This is the opposite situation of the previous design goal, one typical in science and children's museums.

In almost all cases, museums assure me that they want to be in conversation, that they want to be responsive, that they want to “really hear” what people think. Sadly, it was the second story that was about a museum. This afternoon, they issued a lengthy collaborative statement. Is this a research project? Is it a conversation?

Without him as my guide, all I had was fragments. Leave the process to the collaborators and give the product to the audience. In most of these kinds of projects, the number of collaborators is finite. The collaborators themselves are often hand-selected or nominated. As a visitor, I'm not sure what I left with.

I'm thrilled to share this brilliant guest post by Marilyn Russell, Curator of Education at the Carnegie Museum of Art. In a straightforward way, Marilyn explains how her team developed a participatory project to improve engagement in a gallery with an awkward entry. It is great to feel more of a part of the museum!"

Inspired by Stacy, I wanted to share some of the work we are doing at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History to clarify what we mean by engagement. In early 2014, we developed a set of five engagement goals: Relevant, Sustainable, Bridging, Participatory, Igniting. Expands opportunities for deeper engagement beyond the museum.

I personally want to move away from the metaphor of making movies of the computer screen to more shoulder-to-shoulder instructional media and perhaps something that is more participatory or for lack of a better word, social.

This post was written by my colleague Nora Grant, Community Programs Coordinator at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. Pop Up” has become an international buzz term to describe ephemeral, experimental projects--from pop up restaurants to pop up boutiques--but a “Pop Up Museum” is still somewhat mystifying.

Almost every part of each weekend, from the ceremonies (open guided discussion) to the meals (homemade) was participatory. Instead, I think we uncovered one of the secrets to creating successful participatory experiences: people like to feel useful. The same dynamic plays out when it comes to participatory museum experiences.
