The Outside In Gallery is MoNA’s Education Gallery dedicated to amplifying the voices of our community. The gallery was launched in January 2019 with the goal of forging new connections and strengthening partnerships. The name of the gallery derives from the notion of turning traditional structures of access and power to bring the surrounding community inside of the museum through the process of authentic collaboration.

Three years ago a seed was planted. Since the Outside In Gallery’s inception, the space has featured ten exhibitions and has highlighted a broad range of voices and lived experiences in our community.
