The Institute For Figuring’s Core Collection of crochet reefs is available for exhibition. We loan the entire collection as a Traveling Exhibition – the set of works can be see here. Or you may borrow select pieces for Group shows.

Staging a Crochet Reef exhibition requires the resources of a gallery or museum. We work with art galleries, science/natural history museums, universities, colleges, and other institutions. We cannot consider invitations from short-term festivals or events.

Reef exhibitions are typically for a period of 3–6 months. There is a Loan Fee for all works, with longer shows accruing additional fees. Venues must cover shipping to and from our art-storage in Los Angeles, plus door-to-door insurance. For the whole Traveling Exhibition, the venue must also cover travel for Margaret or Christine to come to assist with setting up the show.

For international shows we usually need 6 months advance notice.

If you’d like to make a Loan Request, please send an email with:

• A brief introduction to your institution (1 paragraph is enough).
• Name, position, email of person making the inquiry.
• A brief outline & timeframe of your exhibition.
• Specify if you want the whole Traveling Exhibition, or are interested in specific works.
• See here for List of available work plus images of the pieces installed.
