Hi Kelli, 

We just opened an exhibit with a button-maker station and it has been a hit. Depending on your visitor traffic, supplies only need to be replenished at the end of the day. I would just recommend teaching staff how to operate it just in case there are questions or a demonstration is needed. 

Cheers,

Caitlyn

Hello all,
 
We’re in the midst of designing our upcoming exhibit on the Chemung River and our exhibit team wants to have an art station where visitors can create their own river-inspired artwork. The station will be in the exhibit and unsupervised (we don’t have a gallery attendant) so we are looking for ideas to keep the mess to a minimum. Paints are a no-go, but we also want to do something a little more special than just crayons and colored pencils. Has anyone tried anything that was a hit with visitors, but also low maintenance for staff?
 
Thanks,
Kelli
