Exhibition Design:
Quigley's: A Neighborhood Spot

This design included text panels, labels, and the layout for Quigley's: A Neighborhood Spot at Tonic at Quigley’s Restaurant, curated by Emma G. Brown, an MA student in Museum Studies at the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design at GW, who served as Archival and Curatorial Intern for Tonic at Quigley’s Restaurant. I designed exhibition graphics based on Emma’s script, which included archival photos, as well as objects and an interactive element, that showcase the work that she had done on the history of the building and its connection to the GW community. The exhibition opened in September 2025 and continues on the third floor of the restaurant.
