Exhibit Vendors: Local vs Not Local

February 10, 2012 by Taylor Studios

It happened again. I saw a posting for a museum seeking a “local firm” for an exhibit need. Why would a museum limit their pool of vendors by geography? I realize there are valid reasons in some cases. However, today I simply want to suggest a few reasons why you may want to consider “non-local” vendors for your next exhibit.

I invite you to share your opinions. Please post any thoughts or experiences you have with sourcing exhibit vendors locally vs. non-local. We would enjoy your perspective.
