This chapter focuses on the experiences of participants in an intergenerational art program for LGBTQIA+ audiences, which takes place at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tucson (MOCA). In this chapter, the authors outline the impetus and purpose of this program. They consider the impact that it has had on LGBTQIA+ individuals and the formation of an intergenerational community. From combating loneliness to creating connections across generations, this program invites individuals into the museum space who identify as LBTQIA+ but rarely have the opportunity to connect with one another. Facilitators and participants design projects and gallery activities that promote engagement through dialogue and art-making. As such, art provides connections that give participants opportunities to share and learn from one another. Contemporary art and the museum become sites for engagement. Gallery activities and art-making allow participants to experiment with a range of materials and learn new skills through humor, play, creative inquiry, and collaboration.

The Impact

This article, as part of the ‘SUMcity’ research program, aims to give a comprehensive account of the regeneration that occurred in Athens by the adaptive reuse of the old FIX Brewery to house the new Hellenic National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST). Adaptive reuse is an urban sustainability development evolving process, used to manage assets and resources efficiently, resulting in economic development, increased local attraction, and revitalized community engagement. Other than that, modern societies experience the dynamic stream of social media and smart city initiatives, amid a long-discussed and complex cultural heritage preservation backdrop. Notwithstanding the value added to the city, the interaction of sustainable development with adaptive reuse projects, culture, tourism, social media use, and smart city initiatives, along with the impact of this intangible relationship, has yet to be set in a more tangible form. Methodologically, a newly developed conceptual framework is used in order to re-define the (cor)relations among the existent concepts of sustainable development, smart city and cultural heritage. Subsequently, a primary questionnaire-based research is conducted on Instagram users’ geotagging the Hellenic National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST), analyzing their views in an attempt to demonstrate the arising local potential and sustainability.

Making Art

Objectives. Mindfulness training has been shown to have robust attentional and cognitivebenefits. However, little is known about its effects on viewing and making art. Here, we exploredthe effects of mindfulness-based manipulation in art viewing and art making in two studies.Methods. In Study 1, elementary school children (N = 59) participated in an art tour of theKidspace gallery at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), andviewed and made artworks either with or without mindfulness manipulation. In Study 2university students (N = 193) were randomly assigned to either the mindfulness or the controlcondition, and also viewed and made artworks. Results. In Study 1, elementary students whoreceived mindfulness induction (vs. control) reported larger difference in excitement levelsbetween the previously seen versus new artworks, expressing more excitement about the old vs.new artworks. Further, the artworks created by children in the mindfulness (vs. control)condition were rated by independent judges as more creative and more complex. In Study 2,university students who received the mindfulness (vs. control) induction reported better memoryfor previously seen vs. new artworks. Their own artworks were rated by independent judges asmore creative, abstract, and expressive compared to the participants in the control condition.Conclusions. Together, results suggest that mindfulness-based practices may result in a deeperart viewing experience, and in personal art that is more creative and expressive in both childrenand adults.

This paper describes exploratory research regarding leadership and communication within undergraduate engineering design teams. The case study was performed on student design projects of one and two semester duration to begin to assess the impact of project length on leadership and communication within the design teams. Data was collected using a survey that was given to the participants in three capstone design projects in Clemson University’s senior design course. The survey was administered within one month of course and project completion. While there were differences in the communication and leadership patterns between the teams, there were other possible influences beyond the project length such as team size and organization, organizational and geographic distribution, and the nature of the product. As a result, further research is proposed to study leadership and communication structures within undergraduate teams and multi-team systems (MTS).
