Located on the Second Floor, East Side- The Commons

Local arts professionals guide an open conversation with audiences in the Commons to consider the ways that museums benefit from true collaboration with young people.

The Dialogue Series is a museum-wide commitment to sustained inquiry about museum practice, access, and inclusion. Each annual series includes eminent speakers presenting innovative work happening across disciplines, panel discussions, and opportunities for open dialogue between local arts professionals and audiences.
