Your thoughts and feelings matter
Art can make us feel all sorts of things — curious, inspired, even unsure — and all of those reactions are valid. That’s the exciting part about art: there’s space for everyone’s interpretation!
Respect each other’s ideas
Everyone sees things differently, and that’s what makes conversations about art so interesting. You might not always agree, but staying open to others’ opinions is important.

Enjoy the space
This is your time to explore, think, and be creative.
