Artist in Residence

Thinkery’s Artist in Residence (AIR) program aims to bring local, interactive art into our museum at the Meredith Learning Lab. This program invites working artists to connect with visitors through presentations of authentic art techniques using workshops, demonstrations, and open exploration. The Artist in Residence program isn’t just about creating art; it’s about fostering connections and enriching museum experiences for ALL.

Meet Jasna Boudard

We welcome Jasna Boudard, our first Artist in Residence. Jasna is a new media artist who primarily works with cameras, projections, and installations. Throughout her time at Thinkery, she will not only be leading public workshops for our Thinkery community but will also collaborate with our in-house Exhibits team to fabricate an interactive piece that will be installed in our flagship museum location at the Meredith Learning Lab in Mueller.

“It is an absolute honor to join Thinkery to co-create something truly special for the museum. I love creating interactive experiences through my art, and children have always been the best audience!”

You can learn more about Jasna and see her work at jasna-boudard.com.

AIR Play Sessions

Join us for hands-on fun during our AIR Play Sessions! Jasna will host listening sessions to gather information from museum visitors. This information will help influence the interactive piece that will be installed at Thinkery’s Meredith Learning Lab.

Thursday, May 23, from 11 AM – 1:30 PM in Spark Shop
