Kate (Kathleen) Johnson offers a range of services for museums, libraries, colleges, and other organizations interested in history and art history. She can curate exhibitions in historic structures, on historic landscapes, in gallery spaces, and online. She can produce related texts such as brochures, catalogs, cellphone tours, and other guides. She can also develop and implement museum tours and programs and conduct guide training.
A skilled project manager, she has shepherded a variety of museum projects from concept through implementation. Past projects include the reinterpretation and reinstallation of historic sites in total and in part, the production of a series of gallery exhibitions with accompanying catalogs, teaching museum courses and conducting workshops for museum guides and technicians, planning and creating storage facilities for collections, orchestrating large-scale moves of collections and libraries, and the cataloging of sizable collections of art and artifacts. She can also put together an experienced project team whose skills are suited to a particular project.
Not all of her projects are large in scale. She can also present a single lecture or participate in a short consultancy.
Kate is happy to travel for lectures and projects. Please contact her to discuss the needs of your group or institution or to request references.
