Exhibit designer Chris and muralist Harley Bartlett hanging Harley’s incredibly beautiful murals in the Fort Adams gallery – more on the mural process later.
Crew member Mark grinding the cannon created for the Fort gallery in partnership with Cumberland Foundry – more on that later, too!
Chris installing the railing for the Fort’s second level. It’s very fun to climb the ladders and onto the deck!
RISD student Lisa working on the wheelbarrows for kids to cart foam bricks and stones around the Fort.
Chris installing “story cubes,” one of several activities exploring culture and diversity in the exhibit’s Story Center. The cubes are particularly important because they share a dozen stories of a variety of real Rhode Islanders who have come to and settled in our state, expanding on the four stories told in the galleries.
Crew member Zach putting the finishing touches on the exhibit’s vibrant entryway.
Graphic designer Valerie mounting photos and labels in the Story Center.
We’re very nearly ready for you, thanks to the months of hard work of the exhibits team and the critical contributions of our many partners. Come see for yourselves all weekend long, beginning Friday, November 18 at 9:00 AM!
