Art Exhibition Proposal
You will select at least 5 objects (any art objects, though I highly recommend choosing something with more information) that you would include in a hypothetical exhibition at a museum. You can base your exhibition around any idea or goal, but the objects all need to work together to achieve some cohesive theme. You can have more than five items in mind for your whole exhibition, but you must have at least five specific works included that you will mention in your proposal.
You will write a 3-page proposal (double-spaced, 12-point font, 1 inch margins) for your exhibition convincing the reader of why the exhibition matters and why these objects should be grouped together. Make your argument clear, convincing, and persuasive in achieving your goal. You are deciding a narrative for your exhibition and this is where you can explain that narrative.
Make sure to address the following questions in your proposal:
What story are you trying to tell by pairing these objects together?
Why are they important when paired together/ Why does this story matter for the viewer?
How will you arrange these objects (aka how do you want your visitor to move through the space)?
Why have you chosen these 5 objects in particular? Make sure to explain your rationale for each object.
To complete this project, you will likely need to do research, either online, or in the library. There are many places to find information online, and please use scholarly sources (i.e. no blogs, social media, personal websites, Wikipedia. Stick to things with citations).
