[NHCOLL-L:3595] Exhibitions Available for Rental

[Madelaine Zadik]

The Botanic Garden of Smith College has produced some interesting traveling exhibitions that some of you may be interested in renting. We have really tried to keep costs down in an effort to make our exhibits affordable for other small institutions. This is not a moneymaking venture for us. We have put a lot of time and energy into producing our exhibits and would love to see them at other venues.

We currently have two exhibitions that we are actively renting:

Plant Adaptation Up Close: A Biological and Artistic Interpretation 
(just closed at the NJ State Museum in Trenton and they will be happy to tell you about their experience with the exhibition) and
Asian Gardens of the 1920s: The Travels of Elizabeth K. Roys

You can learn more about these exhibitions on our website:
http://www.smith.edu/garden/exhibits/traveling-exhibitions.html
and there are pdf documents with the full specifications on the exhibits and terms of rental, as well as reproductions of the panels and photos of the exhibitions on display.

Currently in our gallery we are showing The World in a Garden and we will be making that available for rental as well, although we haven't put together all the materials for renting that yet. You can see a little of that exhibit at: http://www.smith.edu/garden/exhibits/exhibitions.html

Additionally, our exhibition, Plant Spirals: Beauty You Can Count On is available in digital form to be refabricated to fit another site. I has been shown in Genoa, Italy and next year will open in Geneva, Switzerland. You can see that exhibit online at http://maven.smith.edu/~phyllo/EXPO/ExpoIntro.html 
If you are interested in discussing how you might display this exhibit, please contact me.

If you have any questions or need any further information, please feel free to email or call me. I would love to discuss our exhibits with you! 

Best Regards,
Madelaine
