Museum in Warehouse District Showcases American Italian History

Synergy Design Group to Develop American Italian Cultural Center’s
New Museum

Exhibit Design House Will Showcase Italian-American History
in New Orleans, Engage Guests With Multi-Sensory Museum

NEW ORLEANS, LA (August 24, 2018) — Synergy Design Group is proud to announce selection as the exhibit design house behind the new museum display coming spring 2019 to the American Italian Cultural Center (AICC) in New Orleans’ Warehouse District. The museum will document the assimilation of Italian immigrants into American and New Orleanian culture and retention of their own unique traditions. Specifically, the exhibition will showcase this history through artifacts, works of art, family histories and more. Visitors may view the exhibition upon its completion on the third floor of the AICC at 537 S. Peters Street, New Orleans, LA, 70130.

 

AMERICAN ITALIAN MUSEUM

The museum display will guide visitors through the arrival of Italian immigrants to New Orleans to present day. It also showcases important aspects of Italian-American life. For example, topics covered in the museum include art, religion, family and World War II. Additionally, Synergy will incorporate a mix of audio (voice recordings, music) and visual media (photographs, artifacts, articles) for a multi-sensory experience. The AICC “celebrates Italian-American culture past, present and future.” Therefore, the new museum display promises to showcase the Italian-American experience and inspire and engage visitors (AICC, n.d.).

 

SYNERGY AND THE AICC

Synergy Design Group’s partnership with the AICC began in 2015. The exhibit design house collaborated with the AICC’s marketing team to develop and install the American Italians in Jazz exhibition. The interactive exhibit showcases Italian-American jazz musicians Louis Prima and Nick LaRocca and their influence on jazz music. The American Italians in Jazz exhibition is currently open to the public at the AICC Museum from 10 AM – 4 PM Monday through Friday.

School Branding Project for Harry Hurst Middle’s Interior

HAVE A HURSTASTIC DAY

PART 1

We collaborated with client Harry Hurst Middle School on a school branding project, showcasing their roadrunner mascot and creating cohesion in their space. By using a mix of wall graphics, window graphics and 3-dimensional lettering, we transformed the unused lobby and hallway walls into marketing assets. In addition to enhancing the space, the installation helps parents and prospective students learn what it means to be “Hurstastic.”

Faculty members enjoy the school branding interior project because it is a cohesive, professional area that helps increase visibility. Students have fun taking pictures in front of the installation and sharing them with friends and family on social media. The permanent installation serves multiple purposes, maximizing our client’s investment.

Part 2

One month after Part 1 of the branded interior installation, the client was so pleased with the result that they hired Synergy to continue the space with additional signage. Synergy’s team installed an over-the-door header to inspire students to fulfill Hurst’s mission and “Be Better Than Yesterday.” The school’s lobby kiosk got a makeover with a branded header featuring Hurst’s Roadrunner mascot, bringing cohesion to the interior. Window graphics showcased Hurst’s iconic green and gold “H,” exuding professionalism and increasing exterior client visibility.

Interior Signage Remodel for Essential Federal Credit Union

EFCU BOUNCES BACK AFTER DISASTER

Essential Federal Credit Union is back and better than ever after last year’s devastating floods affected its operations across the Greater Baton Rouge area. Rather than let the flood destroy the company’s spirit, EFCU took the opportunity to enhance its Walker, Louisiana branch. Synergy collaborated on its interior signage remodeling needs. 

INTERIOR SIGNAGE

We designed 3-dimensional signage and a stunning custom wall for the Essential Café. Then, we installed the credit union’s 3d logo onto a front reception counter. In addition, we revamped their service areas with custom wallpaper showcasing some of the Walker, LA area’s history. These changes brought EFCU’s brand and company culture to the forefront of an already beautiful bank location.

Exhibition Design Showcases Jazz – American Italian Cultural Center

JAZZIN’ IT UP

New Orleans is known around the world for its jazz music. From street corners to concert halls, the sound of music constantly floats through our humid atmosphere. The American Italian Cultural Center wished to celebrate some of the American Italian jazz musicians who made New Orleans groove and asked Synergy for help. We collaborated on an exhibition that showcases these influential musicians.

Synergy delivered a multimedia exhibition display complete with LED screens, an interactive kiosk, custom wallpaper and 3D signage. Viewers watch videos and listen to samples of the music as well as artist interviews on the interactive stand. Additionally, large-format historical images, portraits, and personal anecdotes give exhibit viewers an intimate glimpse into the musicians’ careers and lives. Visitors sit on contemporary red benches while learning about American Italian jazz history.

Conference Room Branded Interior Transformation for Shell-Norco

A COMMON GOAL: TWO COMPANIES, ONE SPACE

The conference room at Shell-Norco had become outdated and needed a fresh look. So, we worked with our client to design a custom space ideal for large meetings as well as smaller gatherings. First, we incorporated their mission statement into a 3D wall display. Then we installed images highlighting the different aspects of the Norco manufacturing plant business to make this their unique branded interior!  This permanent installation included new furniture utilizing Motiva Shell’s technology and whiteboards ideal for smaller discussions. Additionally, a cabinet with hidden cold beverage compartments was a special treat for those in long meetings.
