The authors offer these five possibilities to help create interest-driven arts learning experiences: 

• Use technology. Embrace new technologies to locate youth interested in the arts. Then connect them to helpful online resources. Among them is the Kickstarter seed-financing site, for small grants to encourage young peoples' artmaking.
• Encourage portfolio practices. Encourage youth to document what they have created, and design new portfolio systems that make it easy for youth to collect their work over the years.
• Expand successful learning projects. Find organizations you can use as models to build a national infrastructure for supporting young peoples' interest-driven arts participation, particularly in non-dominant, rural, and urban communities.
• Make the most of social media. Use social networking to, for example, invite young people to display their work in curated exhibits online.
• Invest in research. Expand the knowledge base, particularly research regarding how young people can be brought into lifelong participation in the arts, whatever their individual interest and artistic ability.
