Hey guys - So, I've taken the plunge and started my own institution. It's in its early stages, but its all legal, and the 501c3 (non profit) paperwork is processing. Our first exhibition is being done in partnership with the City of Gainesville, Florida. (We open June 9th) We are setting up our offices now, and are working towards permanent exhibition space. Figured some of you guys have considered this route to house your collections, so I'm happy to share anything you might be curious about. P.S. You have me for the long haul, I am officially "persona non grata" at "the forum that should not be named"  |

I have long tried to put our collection on public view, like in a museum. So we loaned pieces out for a bit but that is nerve racking. So we set up our own institution (museum for lack of a better term) and have our first public exhibition of much of our collection coming up on the 9th of June. Since we dont have our own exhibition space yet, we are partnered with the City of Gainesville, using one of their gallery spaces. www.niuart.org is our website, and there is a link to the exhibition poster. I figured some collectors have considered this same path, and have learned a lot putting this together and would be happy to share that with others. |

If we have to agree on politics, this is going to be a boring fucking world. You do you, I'll do me, and how about using PM and not shitting on a thread? |

Very nice !! Curators, loaners/lenders, space use, insurance, etc. - Hard to imagine the time and resources having an exhibition require ? As for the political talk and guns, send us your best shot after the show  PS. You can name the other forum here, really not a problem. Naming NBF in UAA is what is problematic and will get you full ban. **************** etongroover sin - By the way, I almost forgot, welcome to this place full of naughty people. What have you done ? Just try to stick here for few days or months if you can and share & talk about art. Thanks |

Yeah, we jumped in with both feet, have done shows and mural projects in the pass, but exhibitions that are for the purpose of selling work just soured our hearts and mural projects (as anyone who has done one will attest) are a TON of work and logistics and management that arent paced well for my life. We still do mural stuff, but its single artist, and is residency type approach vs a mural festival.
As far as public exhibition like this
- securing work can be a challenge. we spent a year buying pieces and building relationships to help get the right pieces.
- the stuff Thinkspace pulls off with institutions deserves a fucking medal. Working with museums usually requires not only getting the thumbs up from the curator but also the board and boards are usually older folks who generally push whats in their collections. he is either paying for space or doing world class diplomacy. in our case we found an opportunity with a munisipality which has institutional quality exhibition space and it was much easier to get done.
- resources (PR, curators, staff, security, money, promotions, etc etc) we lucked out the city has been an awesome partner, they brought a lot to the table and it helped keep our costs focused on things like shipping, framing, etc.
I was joking about the UAA thing, but seriously, thanks for being here.
As far as politics, I love talking about it, but hate talking about it. Peoples feelings get hurt and I hate hurting peoples feelings. Im not much of a diplomat, but I really do respect people who have well researched information and passionate opinions.

Very impressive.
I'm in Sarasota, so it'll be easy to pop up to Gainesville this summer to have a look. Happy to see a fellow Floridian on here.
I have toyed with putting on a DIY exhibition of my own work, jut so I can watch others react to it and interact with them. But I don't want to go the traditional route. I want to rent out a closed retail space and sort of set up a pop-up thing for a weekend. Any advice on that?
