[Michlib-l] UPCOMING WORKSHOPS: Exhibits on a Shoestring, Taming the Chaos, and More!

Thu Oct 19 12:50:56 EDT 2017

Exhibits on a Shoestring

October 27 - 9 a.m.-12 p.m.

by Tammy Barnes, Tibbits Opera House

What makes a museum exhibit communicate its message successfully? How do
historical organizations present concepts so they are compelling to visitors
but still within the budget? Building professional-looking exhibits on a
limited budget has become easier in recent years due to advancements in
graphic design and printing technologies. Drawing from personal experiences
working in small museums, the speaker will address several low-cost options
for designing and mounting displays. Organizations with changing exhibit
areas are especially encouraged to attend.

Please Note: This workshop will take place at the Meijer Education Center at
the Historical Society of Michigan, 5815 Executive Dr., Lansing, MI, 48911.
Remote access will be available.

Taming the Chaos and Clutter: Collections Management for Small Museums

October 27 - 1-4 p.m.

Special Off-Site Workshop in Gaylord

by Robert Myers, Historical Society of Michigan

Many small museums and historical societies struggle with basic curatorial
issues related to their artifact, textile, archival, and other collections.
Collections management on a limited budget poses many challenges. This
workshop will address a wide variety of storage, preservation, cataloging,
and legal issues and will be led by a professional curator with decades of
experiences in museum work.

Please Note: This workshop will take place at Jay's Sporting Goods, 1151 S.
Otsego Ave, Gaylord, MI 49735. Remote access will NOT be available.
