Presented by Brooke Marcy
This presentation will provide insight into the process of creating an art exhibition, beginning with the initial idea and concluding with the final exhibition. Visuals from current and past exhibitions will be used to discuss the selection of artists and themes, the criteria for choosing artworks, and Marcy’s approach to curation based on color and rhythm. The session will also cover the logistics of handling and hanging artwork, creating informative panels and labels, and packing and transporting art.
