Our founding mission is “to advance public knowledge about the meaning of place, foster connections and understanding between people of diverse backgrounds, and inspire and reflect a culture of community participation through providing welcoming, well-researched, inclusive, and engaging educational experiences and resources to people of all ages and abilities.”
Turnstile Studio allows us to extend this mission beyond the programming we currently operate in New York City. We are always looking for partners and clients who share these values, and we seek to share the depth and breadth of our experience and expertise to support cultural sites, community-based institutions, economic development organizations, and other non-profits, in their efforts to more effectively engage the public.
We provide consulting services to support the capacity-building efforts of organizations to more effectively welcome, engage, and inform the public through placemaking and civic participation projects, public programming and tours, and educational, interpretive, and wayfinding resources.
Thanks to the diverse talents of our team, who combine decades of experience in a range of fields, our core competencies include:
- Organizational capacity building for public engagement
- Interpretive and strategic planning
- Accessibility training and technical assistance
- Staff training and professional development
- Research and content creation
- Public programs and virtual experiences
- Visitor services and engagement
- Visitor wayfinding, mapmaking, and place-based interpretation
- Program development and evaluation
