EXHIBITION DESIGN

We partner with clients who are looking for exhibition design services. Whether you are an emerging visual artist, a small business, gallery space, arts center, or anything in-between, we are here to help you create exhibits that inform, engage, and that are designed with care. Our goal is to bolster and strengthen your artistic vision and positioning, not dictate them.

WHAT WE DO | OUR PROCESS

Matterhouse designs immersive exhibition environments and elements that transform your vision into memorable experiences. Whether for galleries, museums, art centers, education institutions, or for individual artists, we create exhibits that engage audiences.

OUR PROCESS

Our process begins with understanding your story, audience, venue, and objectives. From there, we develop thoughtful design solutions that integrate spatial planning, fabricated and printed elements, and interpretive storytelling to create a curated visitor experience.

FULL PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

We manage every phase of production. We create concept development and mockups of your exhibit space, provide you with creative strategy, and coordinate the production of all fabricated and print elements. As artists, we ensure that every element is created intentionally, is functional, and visually compelling. We want you to be able to focus on what matters most, your art and community.

VENDOR AND FABRICATOR COORDINATION

We work alongside fabricators, print shops, and furnishing partners to install and bring your vision for your exhibit to life. Additionally,  we oversee the final deliverable production of your exhibition elements to ensure they meet your needs completely.
