Project Case: Jacoby Art Museum Anniversary Celebration Event
Background: Ferdinand and Cindra Jacoby established the Jacoby Art Museum 100 years ago. The museum occupies an entire block across from Westlake Park in the heart of Seattle. A 7-member board governs the museum—including Martin Jacoby, an heir to the founder, who is chairman of the board. 150 members who are major donors also support the museum, and hold a minority voting power in major decisions regarding it. The board has asked the museum’s curator, Harold Frommage, to host a celebration event to commemorate the museum’s centennial opening.
This will be a 2-part event. Event 1 will include a seated, dinner for the 150 members and the board on Friday evening to thank them for their generous and continued donations to the museum. This will be followed the next day by Event 2, a 4-hour open house event, open to the public. It is currently January 10th, so you have approximately 8 months to plan and prepare.
