Well there are various desirable outcomes of a CC license that I think you 
can 
apply to physical objects:

- CREATIVITY FOR ALL: Hold an event and encourage people to take photos, draw 
them, make mini-sculptures on the spot, write haiku poetry. This way you're 
promoting creativity and the idea that people should be able to rethink a 
cultural object that is usually presented to them as a "finished (and 
therefore untouchable) product". Artists do this all the time, get everybody 
who is around to do it there and then :) Encourage spontaneous collaboration!

- REMIXING: Pick some public domain works and make that the theme.

- SHARING: Get the artists to make mini sculptures to give away.


There are probably lots of other gimmicks and fun things you could do, but I 
want to go to bed :)

Regards,
Tom
