CLIENT- Thousand Islands Arts Center
EXHIBIT DESIGN- Janiga Design, LLC
CONTENT DEVELOPMENT - Maggie Schmidt
The new Thousand Islands Arts Center is a state-of-the-art, year-round cultural destination. The 13,000 sq. ft. facility more than doubled the organization's gallery space, establishing a permanent home for a priceless 20,000-item collection, and tripling classroom capacity.
Janiga Design designed the entire first floor. A large gallery provides space for rotating art exhibitions and is preceded by a welcome desk and retail area. A second space is dedicated to the history of the arts center and handweaving in the Thousand Islands region. This permanent exhibit features a wide range of tools used in the craft, a history timeline, a large tactile weaving interactive for visitors of all ages, and culminates in a rotating selection of significant 20th-century handwoven textiles from the Arts Center's collection.
