Why engagement? Why now?

• Changes in:o Artist‐as‐sole‐creatoro Audience‐as‐sole‐receivero Curator‐as‐institutional‐gatekeeper

• These changes align with cultural shifts in the practice of art making and in society at large.

• A desire to shift in the Walker’s interactions with audiences from “transactional” to “relational.”

Is it working?

• Insideo Visitor experience changes (e.g., photo policy, guard’s choice, scavenger hunts, free Wi‐Fi)

o Curators and educators are changing practices

Challenges remain

• Bringing the magic of outdoors to the indoors: Truly embracing the spirit of engagement with our internal programming.

• From free to paid: Converting people from outside to the inside.

• Content, content, content or “feeding the  beast”: How can we continue to create content for the website?

Making real institutional change

• Control v ownershipo Organizational charts are not as important as working styles. 

o Open‐minded and broad skilled staff members needed—create a spirit of collaboration.

• Experiment, learn, adapt… repeato There are already a lot of variables once the audience is engaged, don’t be afraid to make a mistake.

• Commitment from the top is criticalo Audience engagement is sometimes difficult to measure. Institutional leaders need to be committed to your efforts for the long term.
