EXHIBIT DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN WORKSHOP

Learn how to design exhibits from idea to installation in this information-packed one-day workshop. Presenters are Anne Toxey and Patrick McMillan, the principals of Toxey/McMillan Design Associates (TMDA), San Antonio. Back by popular demand, this outstanding exhibit design workshop combines traditional instruction with hands on activity. The take-home material contains valuable tips, references, and bibliography. Divided into four clear sections with plenty of hands on activity, the workshop addresses

(1) development of exhibit theme, objectives, and interpretation;

(2) conceptual design, such as content research and idea sketching;

(3) design development, including signage, graphics, space layout, lighting, display features, and interactives; and

(4) production design, highlighting budget preparation, production schedule, fabrication, installation, and post-production testing and evaluation.

The number of workshop participants is limited to ensure the quality of the group learning experience. Limit two registrations per organization; $25 fee covers supplies and lunch.
