Hello-
The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum is looking to engage a contract mount maker to support mount making for an exhibition currently slated to open in February (date likely to change once the government re-opens). The RFQ and Statement of Work are attached to this note. Feel free to email me at baracks@si.edu with questions.
Thank you,
Sarah Barack
Head of Conservation, Senior Objects Conservator
Hey all you beautiful geniuses out there. I have a potential scheduling conflict for a mountmaking and installation project. First pass it looks to be around 150-200 objects.
Looking for an available traveling mountmaker to work under the Spark and Anvil umbrella. Here's the rub though, I need a proposal like yesterday. Which will be tons of fun as there are a few unknowns and vagaries.
There's a NDA to be signed before details can be given, but we can discuss some details to see of it's a good fit for you.
So, who's hungry for prestige and glory!? Huzzah!
Yours,
James
