00:00:06 [Hey, Leslie. How are you doing?]

00:00:07 [Good. How did it go Saturday?]

00:00:08 [It went really well, really well...]

00:00:10 My name is Tariq Robinson, and I'm Coordinator of Youth and Family Programs.

00:00:14 [That would be me...I'm alright, doin' alright.]

00:00:16 Basically, I put on programs, like Family Days, at the IMA that entails getting families into the museum and comfortable, feeling more confident in using the museum

00:00:28 as a space that they can spend quality family time. The Star Studio is an installation space that

00:00:38 we couple art activities alongside whatever show that's up at that time. It's basically a space that's

00:00:49 meant to be interactive, hands on, unlike any other gallery in the museum.

00:00:55 The museum is an excellent place for families to visit. You know, a lot of times families feel a little threatened or just kind of uneasy about coming into the museum

00:01:07 just because things that we do have are so valuable but, you know, I think my job is basically, you know, help them to feel like, you know,

00:01:18 they can interact with art, you know, in a safe way.

00:01:22 We found a lot of times that families tend to breeze through galleries without really taking time to look at things, so we kind of developed

00:01:34 these activities where they would ask, you know, questions that would kind of again slow families down to kind of look at

00:01:45 works of art and then we provided details of works that they could, you know, then find in the gallery. It's actually been a pretty popular activity.

00:01:55 Whenever you see families, you know, smiling and laughing and having a good time...I definitely feel it's worth it.

00:02:05 "It's My Art", to me, means that there is something here for everyone and that, basically, everyone can feel welcome at the IMA.
