The mission of the Raymond Loewy Museum of Industrial Design is to promote and enhance the understanding of industrial design as a creative process, profession, marketing force and positive cultural dynamic founded upon the legacy of Raymond Loewy. To achieve these goals, the museum will establish educational programs that will examine the principles of design, the nature of materials, human factors, industrial processes and the multidisciplinary synthesis that contribute to effective industrial design. It will feature exhibits that focus on products, individuals and groups influenced by Raymond Loewy. The museum will be inclusive, bringing together designers, students, adults and a broad array of organizations including; The Industrial Design Society of America, the American Institute of Graphic Artists, National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Industrial Design Network Foundation. Exhibitions International and the Estate of Raymond Loewy will found the Museum. Exhibitions International (EI), a non-profit 501(c)(3) in New York City, founded in 1993 and incorporated in 1999, seeks to promote the exchange of ideas by developing and circulating traveling art exhibitions and educational programming, with a focus on architecture, design, and decorative arts. Cultural relevance and diversity, as well as aesthetic quality, are guiding principles in the selection of exhibition themes and programming content. Education is at the heart of our mission. Every exhibition or program is enriched with an educational component that addresses a wide variety of audiences, from K – 12 to adults. Working with top curators and academic experts in the field, EI conceives, develops, and manages all facets of exhibitions and programming. We seek to further our mission by increasing our educational outreach to the public through symposia, film series, and other programs that will serve current audiences and attract new ones. The manifestation of this mission will be carried out with the creation of a physical space where exhibitions and educational programming can be offered to the general public. New York City is considered the cultural epicenter of the United States. This is evidenced by the fact that there are no fewer than ten cultural institutions in Lower Manhattan alone. Exhibitions International has a distinct advantage and responsibility to our constituency to make important exhibitions and educational programming accessible to a broad range of the general public, both residing in, as well as, visiting New York. EI’s Board of Directors is composed of current and former museum directors, curators, art scholars, art critics, collectors, and business people with arts affiliations. The Board meets every quarter to review the artistic and fiscal status of the organization. EI also has an Advisory Council comprising of curators and art scholars in this country and abroad who meet yearly and provide guidance on the selection of projects. In addition, there is EI’s staff of five full-time and one part-time employee who has varied backgrounds in the fields of architecture, design, art history, and museum administration.
