Presenting Our Version of Modern History

After a slow start to the year, the pace of the market started to pick up in April and continued to build through the rest of the second quarter. In the following recap, we’ll provide highlights of the past three months, insight on the tradeshows we attended, and our outlook on what’s to come in the remainder of the year!

In step with our surroundings, our booth featured solutions that both literally and figuratively stood above the rest. A clear point of both conversation and utility, our 10-foot Mod-Glider Pro™ modular art rack system gave attendees a look at how to simultaneously solve their respective hanging art collections storage and visibility concerns. Paired with the Mod-Glider Pro in the booth, were our versatile 920 Series: Preservation Cabinet – featuring the soft rollout of our soft-close drawer accessory – and innovative 420 archival flat file storage cabinet.

Small But Mighty

While there is obvious value in attending the museum market’s larger shows, don’t discount the more focused, regional events held throughout North America. Much like the institutions our experts and solutions serve, there can be tremendous value in even the smallest opportunities.

Over the years, we’ve seen several installations sprout from what some may consider a passing conversation. It goes to show that you never quite know where and how an opportunity will arise. Make sure you’re fully vetting the possibilities in your region and staying in touch with the industry members you meet!

Grant Season Is Upon Us
