Rest Lab is a pop-up space at Krannert Art Museum designed to encourage resting with intention.
Rest Lab is a project co-created by Ishita Dharap and Kamila Glowacki, Education Coordinators.
Rest Lab happens once every semester and occupies a gallery within the museum that is ‘resting’ between shows. This semester KAM Rest Lab is part of Arts Wellness Wave.
It is a unique invitation to take up space in the museum by using the gallery to consider what resting means, and what it could look like.
Every Rest Lab is different! Take a pause and sit, reflect, lie down, draw, listen, read, write, play, and experience the museum in your own restful way.
