The American Alliance of Museums promotes museums as "a center where people gather to meet and converse and an active, visible player in civic life, a safe haven, and a trusted incubator of change." 

The reACT Gallery  is intended to be a safe and respectful place to express and explore reactions, opinions, and perspectives of national current event issues that are relevant to the ISU community. P resented in the Reiman Gallery of the Christian Petersen Art Museum at Morrill Hall, issues will be shown primarily in the form of an exhibition of fine visual arts and engagement opportunities that foster social relevance. Within each exhibition, space will be provide to InterACT in the moment and then for ACTion to take the exhibition content beyond the Gallery.   Anyone in the ISU community can propose a topic for the ReACT Gallery at any time and are encouraged to add their voice to the discussion through partnering on upcoming exhibitions and through the InterACT space in the Gallery.  To see the 2017-2018 reACT Gallery exhibition schedule, click here.
