Believe it or not, I’ve found that there are parallels between one of the greatest Halloween movies ever made and major gift fundraising. Are you asking them to contribute to something specific that they have already indicated interest in, like the Sanderson Sisters Museum? Every October, I watch the 90s classic “Hocus Pocus.”

As a Historic Interpreter for Telfair Museums, I would lead visitors through the Owens-Thomas House and Slave Quarters on a 45 minute guided tour of antebellum Savannah history discussing politics and urban slavery. When the Museum closed I was expecting the next few weeks to be different. I set up digital lunches.

Columbia Pictures’ new Uncharted movie from Venom director Ruben Fleischer is a testament to the idea that the longer much-buzzed-about adaptations of beloved franchises linger in development hell, the more likely they are to emerge from it — that is if they ever do — as warped misfires that might have been better kept in the drafts.

Museum professionals tend to think this is OK because they think of the contributory act as the important part of the participation. Imagine if Netflix encouraged people to rate movies but did not provide customized recommendations based on their ratings. nothing happens.

Surely this doesn’t apply to zoos, museums, and theaters does it? Look at your purchase history and see if there are any trends. For example, if you have a Monet exhibit coming to your museum, you can create content about Monet’s biography, France in the time of Monet, or how Monet’s work is still applicable today. Absolutely!

When filmmaker Travis Gutirrez Senger reflects on Ascos legacy, he quickly notes they were more than an art group; they created a movement, one with remarkable influence on Chicano art history. All four founding members of Asco became some of the most notable Chicano artists, later exhibiting works in revered museums around the United States.
