Interpretive Planning & Exhibition Development

Alice Parman fell in love with museums in 1972 and has worked in and around them ever since. She brings experience, skill, creativity and integrity to interpretive planning and exhibition development projects. A skilled facilitator, Alice creates a welcoming and supportive environment in order to elicit good ideas from all participants, then uses her expertise to craft an interpretive approach that perfectly matches your ideas, institution and community. Her commitment to collaboration and thoughtful discussion with your team makes this process thought-provoking and fun. What are the main messages and ideas do you wish to convey in your exhibitions? Alice will help you figure that out. 

Alice is also an organizational coach. (She honed her managerial, fundraising and problem-solving skills as department head at a large museum and director of two smaller nonprofits.) As a coach she is always in the client’s corner, helping them cope, plan and succeed. Careful analysis and collaborative exploration inform her specific, practical recommendations. Through training, encouragement and guidance, Alice helps build individual capabilities and organizational strengths.
