"How We Work is a collaborative research column exploring the working models of independent art spaces and groups."
"There is a lot of research that shows the connection between creative play, and the development of social skills, problem-solving, and independently guided inquiry. We create opportunities for students to make their own discoveries, direct their own investigations, and have fun along the way." (Anne Frederick on the Hester Street Collaborative)
"We can't be sustainable as an institution if we can't at the very least exist as an experiment." (Steven Ptacek)
"Inquiry, failure, and learning -- the territories of art and education" (Andrew Oesch)
"There was very little adult leadership, the whole point was to allow kids to be in a place where the were doing things on their own terms. We were not always there to force success. There is opportunity to thrive and succeed but there is also equal opportunity to fail. It's a safe space. The kids are in kind of am incubator where it's okay to fall down." (Mike Bancroft)
"Who gets permission to live in that zone where failure is possible?" (Emmy Bright)
"The MCA Denver has billed itself as a Museum Without A Front Door and there are some unique and distinctive ways that the visitor is invited to utilize [the] space and site. For example, there is the library's Open Shelf Program that invites exhibiting artists to curate a shelf of objects, books and music - anything that inspires their work. There is The Lane: Place for Public Engagement, a pedestrian walk way beside the museum that is employed as a stage; and the Idea Box, a room dedicated to relating the museum to visitor's styles of engagement. (Daniel Fuller)
"I believe strongly that a museum needs to maintain a sense of magic. Science museums used to have a magic to them but now they are just places to learn about global warming. (Adam Lerner)
"Speaking in the Rounds --- We start by presenting ourselves, the room we are in, and why we had asked them to join us. We started by everybody saying his or her name and interest in the evening's topic, and then ended by letting everyone give a closing remark.(Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner, a feminist discussion series)
"For me making art is a way of learning and unlearning, it is a way of producing a platform for reflexive exchange." (Malin Arnell)
"But who has power in this society? Not artists. Finance, real estate, politics - people who are in those positions are there because they seek power. BUt I want visions to come true. Not just in one good classroom or art space or neighborhood. I want people who don't want power to get power. That's what's going to turn the Titanic around. It is a moral imperative for good people to get power. Other wise, we leave all the power in the hands of the people who are not oriented to constantly thin about how to do good." (William "Upski" Wimsitt)
