The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts has done art projects in the middle
of their galleries. I think the secret is STAFFING, something your client
probably won't want to hear.

Without staffing...

What about a computer running a simple paint program?

What about a polaroid camera and costumes & props so kids can do their own
portraits and still lifes?

Just a few thoughts from a strictly science exhibit developer with no art
background. Good luck!
