Interact Gallery “Pop!” Exhibition in Saint Paul, Mn

Since 1996, Interact’s mission to create art that challenges perceptions of disability has opened doors for artists with disabilities and audiences eager to experience their work. Interact Gallery mounts public exhibitions each year, along with special exhibition events in venues throughout the metro area. Because artists with disabilities face even greater economic and space/mobility challenges than most mainstream artists, Interact provides accessible studio space and all necessary art supplies to facilitate painting, drawing, sculpture, clay, textile work and other media. Interact provides a full roster of visual arts seminars guided by studio artists, department teaching artists, and local and nationally recognized contemporary guest artists in a variety of media. Artists are supported through the process of aesthetic maturation and evolution based on their individual artistic goals as they complete work for exhibition.  With over 100 artists working in theater and studio arts, Interact is multi-cultural, intergenerational, and embraces the entire spectrum of disability labels. Artist receive a commonly accepted standard commission on the sale of their artwork.
