Philosophy
Sources is committed to helping organizations to plan, create, and sustain institutional practices and public-facing work that is:
Mission-driven
Capacity-building
Relevant
Compelling
We always strive to leave clients even stronger than we found them. Whatever the service, we work with you to develop strategies and tools that your team can successfully use after our work together is complete.
To that end, Sources uniquely specializes in:
Being professional listeners—What’s your unique story? What do your constituents want and need? How are we positioned to add the most value?
Being excited for hard things—What are your most stubborn challenges? What are your opportunities to create lasting change?
Leading with inspiration—What’s the special vision that only you can fulfill? Are we working “on purpose” with everything that we build together?
Sources provides historically-resonant inclusive interpretation in exhibitions, programs, and media. Whether focused on institution-building or smaller curatorial projects, Sources’ work connects contemporary concerns to history in meaningful, personal, and often surprising ways.
