And you've decided that you want to integrate community feedback into the development process. Please add your own ideas in the comments too. 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.

In the co-option model, the institution turns over a portion of its facilities and resources to support programs developed and implemented by external public groups.

Most of my work contracts involve a conversation that goes something like this: "We want to find ways to make our institution more participatory and lively."

I''m open to any questions you want to share in the comments. Participatory work can be very labor-intensive. We have prioritized opening up to as many partners as possible through collaborative structures that scale. This year was a year of building, challenging, and strengthening. In the meantime, here are some.

On June 4, we opened The Tech Virtual Test Zone , a new 2000 sq ft gallery at The Tech Museum of Innovation featuring exhibits on the theme of art, film, and music that were originally developed in Second Life by a community of creative amateurs. There are many ways for creative amateurs to be involved in exhibit development.

It's rare that a participatory museum project is more than a one-shot affair. I hope you'll share your thoughts in the comments. Museums used these thematic lists to develop scavenger hunt lists to distribute to participants so that they might find art objects to illustrate Wikipedia topics like "Roman architecture" or "mask."

Many institutions do this unintentionally--by providing post-its or comment books, pens or crayons. I encourage you to share your own rules and thoughts on this in the comments. 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."

The VSA has replaced their keynotes with structured group dialogue. But the VSA has taken an intentional approach to these structured conversations with the goal of putting the (arguably) best part of conferences—the side conversations and hallway discussions—front and center.

First, we realized that our museum is different from other museums, but our benefits and membership structure were the same as others. How did this project start?

I'm working on a personal project (slowly) to open a cafe/bar venue that is also a design incubator for participatory exhibits. My goals are two-fold: to develop a dynamic, creative, social platform for my community and to distribute its successful elements to other civic learning institutions (museums, libraries, community centers).

Our museum in Santa Cruz has been slammed by those who believe participatory experiences have gone too far. Each of these articles--and the comments around them--are fascinating artifacts of a debate that has been behind the scenes for too long. I''ve always understood that participatory experiences are not for everyone.

We think about this redefinition of affinity not just in terms of our programming but our internal structures as well. Last year, our board and staff came together to develop a “theory of change” that connects the activities we do to the impact we seek. Some of our best volunteers come from the County court referral system.
