Museums as informal sites of learning are uniquely positioned to a ddress this need. From presenting awe-inspiring exhibitions and programmin g\, to providing opportunities to engage in visual literacy in our era of fake news\, museums fill a critical role—despite the overall decrease in federal\, state\, and local funding. How can museums navigate this ever-c hanging world\, continue to do more with less\, and fulfill their missions in new and unexpected ways?\n\nGinger Shulick Porcella is a visionary art s leader\, curator\, and nonprofit executive. Currently serving as the Exe cutive Director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (the MAH)\, Porc ella oversees exhibitions\, community programs\, and the museum’s broade r mission of connecting art\, history\, and local communities. She is know n as a transformational arts leader with a somewhat unconventional approac h\, embracing a “punk” ethos as she helps organizations acknowledge th eir past and create a roadmap to collectively move forward through radical listening\, calculated risk-taking\, and cultivating “unexpected audien ces”.
