RISD Art Circle 2018-2019

The RISD Art Circle (RAC) is a group of young artists and art enthusiasts who explore the RISD Museum collection and activate the Museum galleries through events, interpretative projects, community collaborations, and hands-on learning activities, inspiring all of us to see the world in a creative way. The 2018/2019 RAC collaborates with teens and artists to create projects and programs that showcase the connections between art and the lives of young people.
