A successfully managed project is a carefully planned and organized effort.
A critical and essential skill for any art service manager is project management--the ability to organize resources--labor, budgets, materials-- and handle constraints so that a project's goals are successfully accomplished. Fine Art Movement and Storage: Project Management for the Visual Arts is a practical handbook for developing and managing multi-faceted projects from the project manager's point of view, including estate moves, exhibition planning for preparators, storage setup, planning and maintenance, storage movement and planning, collection relocations, traveling exhibitions, art fairs, and the prioritizing of overlapping projects. It covers complex and advanced project management issues such as: Identifying your stake holders and foreseeing potential stake holder conflicts, Identifying the project's goals and parameters, Outlining goals for initial and follow-up site visits, Guidelines for conducting a site visit, Planning for art and material staging, Estimating and quoting time, labor, and materials, Understanding and estimating hard and soft costs in your budget, Planning for contingencies, Developing budgets and timelines, Scheduling overlapping tasks, Creating daily goal sheets and project punch lists, Training and staffing your crew, Assigning crew leaders, Delegating project responsibilities, Managing quality control and industry standards, Understanding project completion, post completion, and follow up, and Managing multiple projects.Over 50 graphics help to make this a book you'll use every day. Every art institution, art service company and individual that manages projects or anticipates a project will need and want to have access to this book as a resource, as a reference and as a training tool.Author Biography
Chuck Agro has held several management positions in the art service industry. He has been a head preparator and operations manager for major commercial galleries and artist run non-profits. He has been the director of a university gallery as well as the general manager of a major art shipping company. Chuck has also taught, managed and trained staff outside of the art service industry and he was familiar with a workflow that also included managed projects in addition to daily activity. While working in NYC for a national art shipping company Chuck realized there was a need for project management skills in the industry. By using a cost analysis of the untapped project market, he convinced the company to allow him to work as their NYC project representative managing quotes and project design for agents throughout the country. As requests for his services multiplied Chuck began to train others to work with him. Chuck developed a system of quoting, estimating and service management and with the company's encouragement began to train several other art handlers to become project managers. The team and training that Chuck developed were exceptionally successful and the attention they received led to larger and more complex projects. Chuck has been the project manager for several major Museum, Corporate and Private Collection relocations training new staff for each new relocation. Chuck is currently the Packing and Art Services Manager for the Metropolitan Museum of Art where he is responsible for the Museum's packing room and crate shop as well as project management for art movement and storage.
