brainstorm programmatic approaches to core exhibition ideas as

is a print publication that invites community members to share
their reflections on exhibitions, and the community installation
project, which offers gallery space to local partners for
interactive arts exhibitions. The position will also supervise and
support a Youth Programs Manager in maintaining and developing the
Henry's standing youth and multigenerational programs (including
the Henry Teen Art Collective, the Henry Art Liaison Program, and
