RE: So... Now What?
Though, while I want to be an instrument of change, the ever present issue of job security looms over our ability to speak up in this conservative, capitalist environment, and I'm wondering how to address

This is a great idea and I could see developing a model based off of crowdfunding platforms like Kiva (except grants, not loans) and Donors Choose!

That's a great point about Hurricane Harvey as a potential bellweather for an increased use of emergency plans in cultural institutions. I also wonder if the internet and social media also have led to

RE: Interpretation or Interaction? On Exhibit Labels in a Labelless Age
This is really interesting, and I wonder if focus groups can't also play a role in creating object labels that better reflect the audience. Like if you brought in a group of people with diverse ages,

This is an interesting idea I hadn't thought of before! You already bring up the issue of being understaffed, how that's led Graff House and New Hall to remain primarily closed, and how that might affect

RE: Making the Cultural Sector More Accessible from the Bottom Up
Great question! There are plenty of ways that these interns could carry on funding on behalf of Art-Reach. The easiest way, I think, would be for them to chronicle their proposed projects and the process

RE: A Tour Through the Past
