great community places: museums as third spaces
DESCRIPTION
They are welcoming, social, and open to everyone. It’s like hanging out with friends at the mall or your local coffee shop. Could your museum become a favorite community meeting place in the future? Come experience and learn about third spaces, talk to colleagues who researched and reported on them during the California Association of Museums’ Leaders of the Future project, share your third-space stories, and brainstorm new ideas for place-based experiences to add to your museum’s programming. Moderator: Ruth Cuadra, Application Systems Analyst, Getty Research Institute Presenters: Karen Graham Wade, Director, Workman and Temple Family Homestead Museum Lisa Eriksen, Principal, Lisa Eriksen Consulting David Bloom, VertNet Coordinator, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, BerkeleyTRANSCRIPT
