Independent Projects
Passport Cleveland
Passport to Cleveland was one of my final project as a graduate student. I developed a free “passport” program that encouraged the public to visit museums in the area of Northeast Ohio. The museum goers would fill a passport booklet with stamps that they could only get from certain museums that agreed to be listed as participating museums. When the individual or family filled the entire book with stamps they would mail it to a P.O. Box I had opened specifically for this project and in return they would be sent back an official Passport to Cleveland button. In addition to collecting the stamps visitors would be asked to describe their visit and what they enjoyed or didn’t enjoy about the museum. The information then would be collected and provided to the specific museum.
The concept of Passport to Cleveland was intended to be two-fold. First, the “passport” was intended to get visitors in the door of lesser known museums in a fun and engaging way. Second, the survey part of Passport to Cleveland would provide museums with valuable feedback they may not otherwise be able to collect themselves.
