Hello:

 

I am a curator at a small museum in West Georgia.  I am tired of looking at my own exhibits and thinking "surely this could look better!", feeling like some of my text looks one step above an elementary school bulletin board!  Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who doesn't know the secret of quality displays with little expense and all of you are experts at it, because I am often very impressed at the brilliant suggestions that come across this email in regards to text, lebels, production, furniture, etc. Well, because I have just about had it with my own limitations in these areas, I am potentially planning to moderate a conference session at January’s Georgia Asso of Museums and Galleries on the topic of cost-conscious exhibit design/fabrication and are currently looking for people who would like to be on our panel.  The three topics areas are:  

1.       Interactives (mechanical, hands on, audio, video, intro films, interactive kiosks, etc),

2.       Furniture and supports (platforms, pedestals, acrylic bonnets, cases (all-in-one), artifact supports and artifact mounts, etc),

3.       Graphics (large background photographs, smaller images, titles, text, i.d. labels, graphic panels, etc)

 

Now, I am guessing that not many of you are here in the south, but if you are or would like to attend our conference, or just, by chance, are passing through (yea, right!) and could potentially be on my panel, and you are one of those brilliant people out there who knows the secret of fabricating these types of things (mostly in house, especially for #2 and #3) at very little cost but WITHOUT sacrificing/compromising quality, please respond to this email and I will contact you to discuss further off list.

 

Best Regards,

Laurie Sedicino, Curator
