I'd like if visitors, after leaving the space and visiting the lab, to take that energy with them and not just leave it here but bring it out [into the world], smile at someone you pass, something like that." — Ivy Leach

Thank you, Ivy, for sharing your perspective and for your contributions to the exhibition!

There's still time to experience Compassion: What Moves You? on view through November 1. And mark your calendar for a special closing reflection program on Tuesday, October 27.
