About the Event
Please join us for a unique opportunity to gain insights into the exhibition process at MAG. We will be hosting presentations by three members of our esteemed staff who will provide valuable information about their involvement in the process.

Margot Muto, our Director of Exhibitions, will shed light on the design process specific to the space at MAG. Additionally, Allison Shultes, our Director of Learning/Academic & Community Programs, will explain how the community is informed about our visiting exhibitions.
We are excited to announce that Sarah Jesse, the new Director of MAG, will be making a cameo appearance. This provides a great chance for us to get acquainted with each other.
