A major pillar of the work I do is community building. That’s radical in a time when the public discourse is so much more about shutting down voices of dissent.

To give us all a little grace, I'm leaving the doors open to join the next cohort of CARE (the Consortium of Arts Related Entrepreneurs) for just a little longer.

I'm leaning into my Q4 spirit as a brave, evolving leader.

I'm spreading the spirit of directing my own sails.

I'm launching some new offers and reaching out for your help to spread the word.

I’m looking forward to pirating my way around Baltimore for the American Alliance of Museums conference this year.
I’m looking forward to not having a single soundbite to describe my work.
I’m looking forward to telling the story of my work in a variety of ways that don’t have to conform to a set job title. Which, of course, you can still do even if you do have a set job title.

My first public offer in collaboration with Rebecca Shulman and David Bowles is here!

It’s SEED:Baltimore. It’s a 1-day, in-person workshop in Baltimore on May 16, 2024 (the day before the American Alliance of Museums annual conference sessions begin), followed by 6 virtual 90-minute sessions over the following months, all accompanied by a resource library.

What makes an object real? Who determines that realness? How important is that realness to a museum visitor? And, maybe most importantly to those of us in the museum field, how can a museum balance out the nebulous concept of realness with an authentic, true experience.
