agreed. I do not mean to put barriers up for anyone who wants to reach out to their local university, museum, or arts organization. But i believe the people who have contacts inside these organizations will be more successfully since there is a language and set of expectations they have. jen, I know you did an amazing job creating that university class on vlogging. again, I'm all about building bridges, but I'm also about momentum. whatever works for the person doing it.
