Our work
work with us
We excel at projects that promote access to relevant museum collections. If your collection does not work to serve your changing audience, we can help you hone it into an efficient, effective, mission-delivery tool. America’s communities are changing, help more people see themselves in your collection through collection planning, appropriate and relevant cataloging, and inclusive policy.

Featured Case Studies
What are the implications of a contemporary artist residency operating an historic house museum?
Dorothy and Bob Reister founded Stone Quarry Hill Art Park (SQHAP) in the 1990s to support contemporary artists by providing the freedom to respond and engage with a landscape via installations and performances. In the mid 20th century, the Reisters constructed a home on the land that, as a practicing artist, Dorothy designed, created surfaces for, and furnished. When she died in 2017, she bequeathed her house and its contents to the nonprofit. The museum reached out to Frank + Glory to think creatively about how to use the gift.
How does an art museum approach developing a new Collection Management Policy during several major transitions?
Mead Art Museum at Amherst College (the Mead) was approaching its fourth reaccreditation by the American Alliance of Museums in 2024, in the midst of reopening the museum to visitors after relaxing COVID-19 restrictions, ongoing construction projects, and onboarding a new Director. As part of the self-study component of the reaccreditation process, the Mead wished to write and adopt a new Collection Management Policy (CMP) and requested our services to facilitate the process.
