“Sending a shout out to you on a job well done...such a beautiful, well planned installation. I was totally thrilled with the exhibit- I hope our paths will cross again...””

“Thank you for working miracles to get [our exhibit] up and perfect in time for last night. As you know, I’m a worrier by nature, so how wonderful for me to hand over the reins with confidence. Thank you, thank you-”

“One our favorite projects was working with Ivy on the exhibition “Leonard Bernstein: The Power of Music” at the National Museum of American Jewish History. Competing among many celebrations of the centennial birthday of the famed conductor/composer, this exhibit had her unique curatorial perspective that allowed us to create three special media pieces with her team. From the grant proposal stage through final production, Ivy was able to balance the priorities of the content and the overall user experience—she worked through several hard decision points together with us to yield what was considered an extremely successful show.”

“I have been a docent for nine years at the National Museum of American Jewish History and have totally enjoyed presenting the two special exhibits that Ivy Weingram curated during that time. She presented the information and the exhibits in a concise, timely, and clear manner to the docents. As a docent, I was well prepared.”

“I brought my daughter to one of Ivy’s exhibits in Philadelphia and it was one of the most profound experiences I have had as a father.  The exhibit was brilliantly designed to be both informative for adults and accessible to children.  Specifically, my daughter put on headphones and watched Leonard Bernstein explain why he chose not to change his name, after being told by Koussevitzky that he would never get to lead the New York Philharmonic with a Jewish name like ‘Bernstein.’  My 5 year old took off the headphones and asked for an explanation.  It was the softest way to introduce her to anti-semitism — a sad necessity — but it was overlaid with Bernstein’s helpful act of quiet defiance and elegant conviction.  I felt like Ivy had given us both a gift.”
