GALLERY TAKEOVER
Gallery Takeover is a series of annual exhibitions that display the resulting works created through art-making programs designed and led by RT teaching artists and educators, both onsite and offsite in our partner organizations.

WHAT IS
GALLERY TAKEOVER?
Gallery Takeover program is an extension of our commitment to accessibility and celebrating aging, with a focus on intergenerational exchange, social connections and personal growth.
This program aims to provide an inclusive platform that represents the diverse voices of our communities and challenges assumptions about age and disability.
PLATFORM FOR COLLABORATION
Ruth’s Table connects diverse communities by collaborating with senior services providers, local community groups, and schools, through virtual and onsite arts programs, teacher exchange, and parallel programming.
Creative projects draw on the themes of our exhibitions, allowing a commonality in medium and technique while providing opportunities to contribute to collaborative projects across partners.
ACCESS AT THE CORE
Gallery Takeover program places access and belonging at the heart of its agenda.
Central to RT’s mission is our commitment to ensure access to our programs, exhibitions, and resources, to the widest possible audience, and broaden our reach to communities and organizations who lack equitable access to supportive creative opportunities.
