Full-Scale Event Production That Inspires & Educates

Opportunity

Ahead of launching the For Our Shared Future campaign, the Smithsonian Institution sought a new way to inspire transformational support without relying on traditional fundraising tactics. In 2023, Yes& partnered with the Smithsonian to produce a multi-city preview tour – creating immersive, content-rich experiences that celebrated discovery, creativity, and impact while building momentum toward the campaign’s public launch.
