This multi-week public program at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) combined art history, art making, and movement in ways that invited participants to use the museum as a site for social action. I developed and led ArtX Fit at the invitation of Scott Stulen, then Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance at the museum, and in collaboration with Brent Aldrich, one of my MFA students whose work is rooted in social and collaborative methods.
