In 2017, the Spencer’s graduate student interns collaborated to create an exhibition for the Jack & Lavon Brosseau Center for Learning. The Object Feels paired original works of art from the Spencer’s collection with tactile replicas to explore the value of multi-sensory encounters with art for multiple and diverse audiences.
