Solutions for Exhibits with Drawing Utensils
Hello!
We have an exhibit at DCM that encourages children and their families to "talk back" or draw using colored pencils and woodies (wax/wood crayons).

In the first quarter of 2024, we're seeing about 37% of visitors are coming to play for the first time. Last year, for 2023, it was about 41%, and for 2022, it was about 45%. We only measure this on our full-price tickets and our MFA...
