Enjoying Art is Not a Silent Experience
I applaud Rochester's Memorial Art Gallery, not just because it brought the wonderful traveling shows Infinity Boxes and Little Golden Books to the community, but because through those exhibits it introduced a greater sense of interaction with guests. Laughter, banter, smiles, and wonder were commonplace during the run of the shows allowing diverse audiences to enjoy interaction with art. Some came to experience the Infinity Boxes or to reminisce and enjoy the art behind the Little Golden Books of their childhood, but so many more left with a new appreciation of Matisse, ancient Egypt and Rome, or the Renaissance.
