The Think Potato Institute has developed through decades of friendships, collaborations, institutional support, and international exchange. While many projects originated through the work of founder Jeffrey Allen Price, the Institute has been shaped by a growing network of artists, educators, researchers, scientists, collectors, students, institutions, and supporters whose contributions have helped expand and sustain its activities over time.
