Quality exhibits reflect the good stewardship activities that take place behind the scenes in cultural institutions and allow organizations to interpret their collections to the public.While exhibitions are essential in assisting institutions in fulfilling their missions, they can also be time consuming, expensive, and potentially damaging to artifacts. This workshop is designed to assist institutions incoordinating the many activities that are part of planning small to medium sized exhibitions.Local exhibit designers, curators, and conservators will discuss exhibit development, the process of working with a designer, and preservation considerations when mounting exhibitions.
