What We Do
~
Exhibition DevelopmentDo you need help producing an exhibition or related program?
We can help plan, develop, and implement a permanent or temporary exhibition or related program from start to finish, or provide services to supplement your in-house capabilities, as needed. We have extensive experience collaborating with exhibit designers, media producers, and fabricators. With our curatorial experience and background in interpretive planning and education, you can expect from us high-quality, engaging exhibits that meet your interpretive goals and visitor experience objectives. |

Interpretive PlanningDo you need an interpretive plan for your site, institution, or exhibition?
Interpretive planning helps develop consensus on a vision for interpretation. It lays a foundation for the visitor experience. It helps ensure that your purpose and significance are aligned with themes and stories, and in turn, all interpretive services -- person-to-person and/or media-based. During a collaborative, interactive planning process, our job is to listen to you. In the resulting plan, we reflect back your vision, themes and stories, audience summary, goals or objectives, and strategies for services. To help you prioritize, where appropriate, we organize recommendations into a timeline of quick solutions, midterm enhancements, and long-term transformations. |

Historic Interior PlanningDo you need a furnishing plan for your historic house or other site?
Every historic site has an organic history. We work with you to determine the best interpretive approach for your site. Should it reflect a specific point in time? Should it be based on the story of one person or family? Should it include stories from throughout the site’s history? Once the approach is determined, we can research, write, and -- if requested -- help implement a plan for the site, including recommendations for appropriate furnishings and interior treatments. |

Other ServicesDo you need a strategic plan, or help with board development or an executive search?
In addition to interpretive projects, we provide a range of professional services to related clients, including strategic planning, board development, and executive search. We do not take a cookie-cutter approach, but instead prefer to work with you to determine the best approach for your needs. After discussing your goals, we can create a customized project plan with critical paths, schedules, and tools for successful implementation. |
