The Need

The Funk Center’s museum board asked Tessellate to join forces to craft a vision for the future of the Funk Music Hall of Fame and Exhibition Center. Requirements include an immersive interactive design that could be used for community events and induction ceremonies. The board also requested that Tessellate help with their fundraising efforts.

The Approach

Tessellate partnered with renowned designer Tucker Viemeister to envision the museum’s future. Interviews and conversation with the community led to a preliminary content and narrative outline from which to generate ideas for the architecture and exhibits. The conceptual design creates a space where everyone is welcome, and where a wide range of events - from black tie events to informal concerts - can occur. In addition to immersive and interactive permanent exhibits, the concept includes a rooftop garden, a gift shop and cafe, and a changing exhibit gallery. Tessellate also provided fundraising experience through the creation of marketing materials, conference engagement, the design of pop-up exhibits and events, event attendance, and by spreading the word about this incredible project.
