Interact’s Visual Arts department is made up of 74 artists and ten staff, who are also practicing artists. We work across disciplines, including painting, drawing, graphics, bookmaking, comics, fibers, and ceramics.
In the studio, we hold focused workshops and critiques guided by artists from within our community and by local and nationally recognized visiting artists. We think of the studio as a place for both collaborative and individually driven projects.
Interact artists regularly exhibit work in art galleries, museums, and artist-run spaces. Our curatorial process is often collaborative, with involvement from the Artist Advisory Council — a group nominated by their peers to advocate for the interests of the larger community.
As a gallery, we are committed to artistic equity and pay industry standard commissions on sales of artwork to all artists. The rest of the proceeds go back into supplies and programming.

Creative Practice
At Interact, artists with and without disabilities work side by side every day as peer creators to express disability as an experience of profound fullness rather than lack.
