Is this going to hurt much? Novice computer-ite making 1st attempt at connecting on Museum-l. I'm a grad student in Museum studies at the University of Toronto doing a 3 month internship at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Programs and Interpretation.I am trying to contact museum/gallery people who are building interesting bridges out into their communities. There's a ton of info published on the philosophy of community consultation/ advisory boards etc., but I'd like to talk with people who have actually tried exhibits or programs (hugely successful or not so) that have a high level of community participation (not necessarily attendence), in either the creation or implementation of the offering. Please suggest people/programs that I should investigate. Please respond directly, I will post a summary of my findings to the group in July, thanks... Judy Koke e-mail: [log in to unmask]
