he Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) placement’s assignment was to create a multipurpose space to accommodate a variety of patrons, including those on the Autistic Spectrum, with sensory disorders, and breastfeeding mothers. For some Junior League members, this assignment had a personal connection. Committee Chair Tamika Watkins said, “I have firsthand experience of the challenges that are coupled with sensory disorders. My nephews, whom I adore, suffer from sensory disorders. When triggered, they can become overwhelmed with crowds and processing information. I was able to draw on my personal experiences to create a plan for the space that would help families and children.” MMFA is full of beautiful artwork however, for those on the spectrum, the multitude of colors, shapes, and patterns can be overwhelming. The goal was to create a multipurpose space that was soothing and quiet.
