Exhibition Design and Curation
From his early years directing a New York City art gallery, to laying out exhibits in several museums, including the American Craft Museum (now Museum of Art and Design) and the Davenport Museum of Art (now the Figge Museum of Art) to the aggressive exhibition schedule of a three-gallery art school, Towner’s eye for design is unparalleled. Often raising funds through grant-writing, the development and realization of exhibits that combine strong conceptual frameworks with professional design, ensuring clarity of interpretation and cohesive thematic presentation is a hallmark of his professional insight. Towner always emphasizes museum-quality exhibitions and thematic integrity.
