Fleisher Art Memorial’s BYOP (Bring Your Own Project) initiative reimagined how its exhibitions efforts operate from a curatorial and partnership-based perspective through the development of two artistic residencies in collaboration with two advocacy organizations, VietLead and Women Organized Against Rape. A new program model emerged through BYOP’s focus on shared power and cultural equity. This case study describes the BYOP initiative’s development, the evolution of its program model, and the impact of the project on Fleisher Art Memorial. The case study finds that the BYOP model encompasses three traits -- generative listening, fluidity, and trust (in the project’s process and among the people who participated in it). It also finds that though some conflicts did occur, BYOP was successful in challenging Fleisher’s existing exhibitions practices, as evidenced by the flexible program model it created and the culture embodied within its process. These findings are based on observation, participation, and other data gathered over the course of the initiative by the project’s evaluator, the author of this article.
