Storytelling on a Budget

Join Brandon W. Brooks, Curator of the John L. Wehle Gallery at Genesee Village Country Museum, on Sunday, April 19th at 2pm at the Macedon Academy for a discussion on effectively exhibiting and handling textile collections on a budget. Learn the basics about handling textile collections, and what materials may be used to exhibit them safely, all while staying within the perimeters of efficient cost. This presentation will explore some of the pieces from the textile collections of the Meetinghouse itself, as well as give hands-on access to exhibition and storage materials.

Brandon has been Curator of the John L. Wehle Gallery at the Genesee Country Village Museum since March 2020.

Brandon works with over 450 years of European and American sporting and wildlife art and over 300 years of fashion and textile material culture notably, the Bruce & Susan Greene Costume Collection house in the John L Wehle Gallery. Macedon Town Historian, Linda Braun and MHS President, Sandy Pagano had the privilege of touring the archives of the John Wehle Gallery with Brandon at the GVCM.

This is a hands on presentation.
