Inter/Act is a flexible exhibition space located on the Museum’s Level 1. The space displays educational projects of the Museum’s Education & Arts Roundtable, an educational partnership fostering deep and engaging learning processes through artists-educators-and-Museum collaborations. Inter/Act showcases student responses — both their work and their processes — to program topics that are both relevant to them and to the Museum’s collections and resources. It is a space where learning is made visible.
A variety of student exhibitions are held in the Inter/Act space throughout the year--the results of arts-rich, interdisciplinary learning projects. Once on display, students gain enormous satisfaction and a more meaningful connection to the Museum when they return to Inter/Act with teachers, family and friends to witness their work on view in a Museum space. The creative output that students generate as part of Roundtable projects varies greatly depending on grade level, project concept and partner collaboration, for example:
