YOU CAN LEAVE A LASTING LEGACY AND FURTHER OUR MISSION BY PLEDGING YOUR SUPPORT TO OUR BUILDING CAMPAIGN. We have many options for you to help us realize our dream for a new home. Below is a comprehensive list of naming opportunities that will allow you to attach a corporate name, your name, or that of a special person in your life, to a designated space in the new Interactive Neighborhood for Kids building.

Name the Museum
This incredibly diverse space is uniquely suited to our mission of creating excitement surrounding education and inspiring young minds to explore the world around them through hands-on learning experiences. Our new location will allow us to reach visitors from all areas. A tremendous option for a business that wants its name connected to the museum, or a fantastic opportunity to honor someone in the community. Your name can be a prominent landmark in the community!

One seldom forgets their first impression of a place and this is where we’ll begin to shape that image for visitors to our Museum. Large enough to serve as a staging area for arriving school and other groups, this space not only welcomes but also invites the curious visitor to see what lies beyond. All visitors to our Museum will pass through this entryway. Groups of school children, local residents and guests alike will begin their learning experiences with a trip through the foyer. Imagine walking into INK and seeing a grand entrance, named in your honor, with a world of imagination waiting for everyone to explore.

Winding throughout the various exhibits with stops along the way to facilitate imagination and creativity, countless hours will be spent by thousands of children and adults on each of their personal journeys of fun. The street name of your choice will pave the way to an area of great learning fun!
