Mission: Exhibit envoy provides traveling exhibitions and professional services to museums throughout california. Our mission is to build new perspectives among californians, create innovative exhibitions and solutions, and advance institutions in service to their communities.
Programs: Traveling exhibitions: since our founding in 1988, more than one million visitors at community museums across california have enjoyed and learned from exhibit envoys traveling exhibitions. These exhibits tell the stories of our states cultural heritage, its immigrations and emigrations, its unique place within western and us history and the world. Ee exhibits chronicle movements in art, showcase well-known and soon-to-be-discovered artists, and reflect cultural traditions that span eras and continents. These exhibits bring extinct species to life, trace environmental histories, and contribute to greater discussions about land use, water policy, and agricultural practices. For more than two decades our traveling exhibitions have been a window into the soul and soil of california.
exhibition support: our complete-product approach is crucial to small institutions where staff time, resources, and budgets are limited. When venues book an ee exhibit they receive a complete package: a ready-to-install product, scheduling and logistics management, full press materials, public program access, interpretive and gallery materials, and the commitment of ee staff to assist in any way needed to ensure a successful booking and public experience. A membership program offers the benefit of reduced rental fees.
professional development: professional development opportunities are offered to renters and other museum professionals with the aim of increasing the skill sets and building internal capacity. These trainings include installation techniques, program planning, community outreach, audience development, and diversity training. Generally these trainings are offered free of charge and are schedule throughout the state and online to maximize accessibility.
