“When the Chicago History Museum decided to tour our exhibition, Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair, we conducted a nationwide search for a partner with the business skills and marketing experience to make the project succeed. International Arts & Artists not only met these expectations, but their staff also demonstrated informed sensitivity to a wide range of curatorial, collections and interpretive issues. Based on these shared understandings, our organizations have built a rewarding collaborative relationship, enabling us to offer a unique and meaningful exhibition experience to audiences throughout the country, maintaining high standards of museum presentation while also satisfying revenue expectations.”

“We have enjoyed a fruitful relationship with IA&A, hosting many of your exhibitions. In this case, we received the materials in a timely manner, and were especially pleased with the addition of the catalogue. Your staff was helpful overall, but in particular with expediting our receipt of additional catalogues near the end of the run of the exhibition. We found this experience of working with IA&A to be very smooth, and that the staff was very responsive to our inquiries.”

Without a doubt I clearly enjoy International Arts and Artists’ exhibition options and their incredible staff. The staff is knowledgeable and highly capable in their roles. Both in booking an exhibition and in asking questions about potential exhibits, any concern that I may have is always quickly and pleasantly responded to….
