こんにちは to Takram New York and SHOHEI MIYAJIMA of Dashi Okume for hosting our Strategy Director Kate Watson-Cole and our client Jocelyn Heyward, Senior Marketing Manager at Dassai Blue, for a night of Transcultural Tastemaking. We shared some of the strategy and ideas behind our storytelling spaces for the new Dassai Blue Sake Brewery in Hyde Park, NY, learned from our fellow panelists who are bringing Japanese green tea and dashi packets to the American market, and shared perspectives on evolving and interpreting Japanese food and beverage culture for US audiences. Look out for more news on this partnership this year!

A recent and timely article in the New York Times - Children and Museums: You Can’t Start Early Enough https://lnkd.in/eFfbv4vd - highlights how museums are prioritizing the next generation of museum goers as our work with The Columbus Museum is set to open to the public this weekend. We've been working with CoMu since 2020 to design a one of a kind family gallery that uses the museum's art and history collection to engage children and caregivers in activities that build creative thinking, problem solving, and curiosity with an emphasis on placemaking. I am so proud of this work from our team at Local Projects and can't wait to share more of it soon! Here is a sneak peak inside the gallery.

Last weekend, we were proud to join The Columbus Museum's ribbon cutting on its first major renovation since 1989! It’s been a rewarding experience partnering with Perkins&Will to realize the Museum’s vision. The renovated Museum connects its art and history collections in inventive ways, and creates a welcoming place for people to come together and collectively build the future of the community.  The renovation includes a completely rethought entry experience, including a series of three introductory experiences that invite and orient visitors to the rest of the newly renovated museum. The jewel of our work culminates inside a 2,000-square-foot children’s gallery whose rich, colorful design is a reflection of the Chattahoochee river valley. Here are a few snaps of the new design, including an inviting new entry, a reimagined orientation experience, new exhibit galleries, and a few very happy teammates. . . . #comu #allthethings  #reopening #museum #art #history
