It’s not unusual for us to meet with an environmental activist, a balloon artist, a farmer, and the Mayor of Santa Cruz all in one day.

Send in your question, and it can be days before the artist or curator responds with an answer. That being said, we get all kinds of questions — details in the works, about the artist, why the work is in the Museum, etc. You’ve done other dialogic tech-enabled projects with visitors in the past.
