How can temporary, touring and partnership exhibitions enhance and promote an institution’s mission, create new audiences and mutually beneficial partnerships? These are the issues this HERITΛGE workshop focuses on. Starting with building an institutional strategy for exhibitions and partnership-building, participants explore the process behind planning and putting on temporary exhibitions at home and on tour. This includes identifying exhibition objectives, shaping the narrative and content to create a compelling visitor experience, strategies for touring exhibitions nationally and internationally, and exploring how to make exhibitions more sustainable and accessible. The workshop encourages a discursive and participatory approach. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own exhibition ideas to the workshop for discussion and development.
HERITΛGE provides scholarships to most participants in its training programmes. These scholarships can cover up to 90% of the cost of attendance, depending on the circumstances of the participants and the availability of funding. Read more on Fees & Scholarships.
