Ansel Adams: Mountain, Water, Cloud, & Sea

Developed in partnership with the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust and Virginia Adams Mayhew, granddaughter of Ansel Adams, Ansel Adams: Mountain, Water, Cloud, & Sea presents a carefully curated selection of photographs celebrating Adams' lifelong relationship with the natural world.
Our collaboration extends well beyond exhibition management. Working directly with the Trust, we support the development of the exhibition for travel through ongoing coordination, collection documentation, exhibition planning, and tour preparation, ensuring the presentation remains aligned with the Trust's standards while making the collection accessible to audiences worldwide.
The Jim Henson Exhibition: Muppets & More!

In partnership with the Museum of the Moving Image, Curatorial Exhibitions is expanding the museum's acclaimed exhibition into an international traveling exhibition while preserving its original creative vision and interpretive framework.
Working collaboratively with the museum, we support the exhibition's adaptation for international venues through coordinated planning, touring strategy, and long-term management, ensuring new audiences can experience one of the most celebrated exhibitions devoted to Jim Henson's life and legacy.
Ken Gonzales-Day: History’s “Nevermade”
-
Following its debut at the USC Fisher Museum of Art, Curatorial Exhibitions partnered with the museum to develop Ken Gonzales-Day: History's "Nevermade" into a traveling exhibition for domestic and international audiences. Together, we collaborated on adapting the exhibition for tour, balancing the practical requirements of a traveling exhibition with the curatorial vision and interpretive framework established by the museum.
Exploring themes of public memory, representation, and historical omission, the exhibition brings together photography, sculpture, and archival research to examine monuments, histories, and narratives that were imagined, proposed, or intentionally left unrealized. Through this partnership, the exhibition is able to engage new audiences while preserving the intellectual rigor and artistic intent of its original presentation.
