Collaboration and teamwork are important ingredients in the development of our exhibition program. Starting with guidelines created during meetings with the Executive Director, Curator and Director of Education, a program is designed which will best demonstrate our compliance to our Mission. The Curatorial Department Staff evaluates submitted work, and collectively decide upon exhibitions. The Board of Trustees ensure that exhibitions tie closely with the Museum Mission Statement. In addition, we are guided by the recommendations of the Museum Association of America which has discouraged organized group exhibitions of questionable quality and encouraged thematic exhibitions. Comments from Museum visitors are always taken into consideration when reevaluating at the conclusion of an exhibition. In The Galleries
