Join the ExhibitSEED: Beyond Green Exhibits Workshop April & May 2013
What Is ExhibitSEED and the ExhibitSEED workshop?
ExhibitSEED is a set of resources for exhibit and museum professionals for developing, designing, and building more sustainable exhibits. The resources were developed by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) from an interactive science museum perspective, but we hope the information will be valuable to exhibit professionals specializing in all types of museums.
ExhibitSEED and the ExhibitSEED workshops are funded by the National Science Foundation and developed by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) with input from local and national museum industry and design advisors.
What will you do at the ExhibitSEED workshop?
At this one-day hands-on workshop, exhibit developers, designers, and fabricators will discuss practical skills for creating more sustainable interactive exhibits. The workshop will focus on case studies and concrete tools that allow exhibit teams to make more environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable choices throughout the exhibit development process.
When and where will the workshop be held?
There will be a series of four workshops in spring of 2013. We are currently taking applications for the following workshops:
Apr. 23 - Children's Museum of Houston (Houston, TX): application deadline March 11 Apr. 25 - Miami Science Museum (Miami, FL): application deadline March 14 May 14 - Science Museum of Minnesota (St. Paul, MN): application deadline March 20 May 16 - The Franklin Institute (Philadelphia, PA): application deadline April 5
How do I participate?
