Responders

The Art Preserve exists as an open-ended series of responses to the unique and expansive collection it houses. Several years ago, as it developed exhibitions and programming, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center began collaborating with responders—people across disciplines, areas of expertise, and interests—to reflect on artist-built environments and their makers. Throughout the planning and design of the Art Preserve, this response model continued.

Makers, creatives, scholars, and conservators continue to be engaged in the creation of new work at the Art Preserve. Their fresh perspectives offer ways to expand our understanding of and critical thinking around the field of artist-built environments.
