Feast of Ideas - Beyond the Walls: Tapping into Outside Expertise
Wednesday, December 11, 2002, 2:30-5:00 PM
Presidio Officers' Club, San Francisco CA

One of the challenges of hiring help for a museum project is knowing who's out there. This "Feast of Ideas" will showcase Bay Area museum consulting services including designers, writers, planners, evaluators, and fabricators. Come meet diverse, talented and experienced Bay Area museum consultants and review their portfolios in an informal, collegial setting.

Mary Jo Sutton, the Bay Area Discovery Museum's Assistant Director for Exhibitions, will speak about the challenges of choosing, hiring, and working with consultants.

After her remarks, participants will be free to circulate among the consultant "booths" to meet and chat informally with freelancers (who may hold the key to resolving your workload nightmares!) Another unique resource, the Presidio's 5,500 sq. ft. exhibition hall (which is available for rental), will also be open for self-guided tours.
