Creating a new exhibition takes a team -- to envision, research, curate, and spatialize the content. A gift at this level will contribute to the labor and costs required to design a new show.

A gift at this level will allow them to project images, support manuscripts, hang drawings, convey text, communicate ideas and divide space for future exhibits.

Twenty-nine of the fifty-four professional exhibitions mounted in the gallery featured designs or curatorial work of underrepresented minorities and women.
