Take a stroll with us through this eye-opening discussion about what it is like to be a person who sets up the exhibitions at a museum.  It is fascinating to hear how Lauren Nye evolved as an artist who specializes in 3 dimensions to one who also plans, implements, designs, and installs art exhibits at the Susquehanna Art Museum. You will never walk thru a museum the same way again!

LAUREN NYE'S BIOGRAPHY:

Lauren Nye is Director of Exhibitions at the Susquehanna Art Museum (SAM) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. In her freelance work, Nye collaborates with individuals, artists, and corporations to bring creative projects to life. She has curated exhibitions at both commercial and non-profit venues for ten years and has assisted in sculpture installations nationally and internationally. Additionally, she served as a juror and/or judge at arts organizations such as the Berks Art Council, Whitaker Center, Carlisle Arts Learning Center, Creative York, and Millersville University where she was honored to be the first alumni juror in exhibition history.

Lauren's interest in public art sparked the beginning of the SAM mural project, and she successfully coordinated the installation of an ambitious 1,400 sq. ft. outdoor mural in the Midtown district of Harrisburg. Nye’s speaking engagements include the PA Museums Conference at the State Museum of Pennsylvania and the Impact Arts Conference panel on the challenges of opening a successful art space.

As The Director of Exhibitions, Lauren manages the planning, implementing, designing, installation, and interpretation of exhibitions in the galleries at Susquehanna Art Museum. She oversees the shipping, insurance, contracts, travel, and loan agreements for all incoming and outgoing artwork. She also supervises volunteers and interns in the exhibition department.
