Subject: Workshops on exhibitions
Small Cases, Big Ideas: Planning Exhibitions The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) Philadelphia, PA - December 5, 2006 Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Historic Landmark Building 118 North Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19102 Tuesday, December 5, 2006 8:45 am - 9:15 am Registration and Coffee 9:15 am - 4:30 pm Workshop <URL:http://www.ccaha.org/workshop_cal.php> Cosponsored by: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Exhibitions are integral to the mission of museums, historic houses, historical societies, and to archives and libraries as these institutions strive to showcase their collections. 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 in coordinating 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. Concepts will be illustrated through case studies that range from small case exhibits to art installations and historic interiors.
