The Gardiner Museum

The Gardiner Museum is Canada’s national ceramics museum, and one of the world’s great specialty museums.The Gardiner strives to be an inviting destination that inspires and connects people, art and ideas through clay. In addition to a world-renowned collection of ceramic objects, the museum is also a hub of activity related to clay and ceramic art. The Gardiner offers clay classes for all ages and skill levels. The museum also regularly hosts exhibitions that go beyond the permanent collection, increasingly with contemporary and unexpected themes.

Under the direction of the Gardiner Museum’s Executive Director and CEO, Ripple partnered with the museum’s internal marketing team to work on a number of projects, including consulting, processes and strategy advice as well as creative direction and creative production work.

During this time, Ripple helped the Gardiner to refine their social media strategy, create a defined creative production process, and research and document their requirements for a new website to be launched in 2016.

Ripple also provided creative direction and production on a number of exhibitions and initiatives at the Gardiner, including the “Royal Bank of Canada Emerging Artists” exhibition, the “Doors At Six” event series, the “Kent Monkman: The Rise And Fall Of Civilization” exhibition, the re-opening of the refurbished European Gallery, and the festive “Twelve Trees” exhibition and events.

Oh, and we also helped create a sixteen-foot light-up bison – not something we do every day!
