The Holter employs a variety of platforms, strategies, and modalities to provide access to engagement. We use a multitude of tools to support a culture of self-discovery, curiosity, and wonder. We remove obstacles by using common language, and we use appropriate art education vocabulary when the context calls for it. The Holter actively reaches out and invites audiences to engage with contemporary art and supports them in that engagement.
