The Big Horn County Historical Society Museum needed to recognize their donors with a donor wall to fit their space and themed around their identity. The museum contacted Presentations to help produce a donor wall they designed and visioned.
The challenge to this donor wall design was the multiple layering that incorporated photographed images of the mountains. Each peak of the mountain represents one of the six donor giving levels. In total the donor wall has seven different layers all individually cut and mounted together. This creates about 4 inches of depth to the donor recognition wall. Images are printed on pieces of Plexiglas and then adding a dividing layer. Once completed the donor wall was shipped to Montana and easily hung using the cleat system as recommended by Presentations.
The Big Horn County Historical Society Museum now has a beautiful donor wall that reflects their organization and thanks their donors in an artistic way.
When this distinguished museum needed to recognize their annual donors, they asked us to design a thoughtful, affordable donor recognition wall. Our task was to design, create and install a display that was of a caliber worthy of display in The Cedar Rapids Art Museum’s $10 million renovated, modern lobby. The recognition display needed to be relevant to the space and be easily and affordably updated every year.
We started by studying the space to incorporate existing architectural elements. Taking into consideration the metal finishes used throughout the space, the horizontal banding in the architecture as well as the neutral colors popped with bursts of cranberry, purple and charcoal, we designed and fabricated a recognition wall display that enhanced and spoke to the space. A permanent frame of sorts was created where the interior mounted print could be changed year after year. Corporate and individual donors are recognized in charcoal on a field of neutral tones that match the walls. With a band of cranberry background color showing from behind the print on either side, the color accents of the lobby are referenced. The horizontal stripes and fern pattern tonally represented on the aluminum fascia juxtapose the curve in the shape that draws your eye against all the linear elements of the space while speaking to the adjoining atrium.
This elegant, donor recognition wall display was clearly designed for the space and provides the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art a means of affordably updating their donor recognition on a yearly basis.
