For the Barnes Foundation temporary exhibit Strength and Splendor, we provided a multi-panel exhibition brochure and a gallery booklet for an installation by visiting artist Ellen Harvey. The artist's work for the exhibit is a direct response to Dr. Barnes’s idiosyncratic collection of utilitarian wrought iron objects.
Skelton Sprouls produced a new website for Breakthrough, the magazine for the Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Medicine, which we have designed for the past 8 years. The website is built on an open source platform and is responsive across a wide range of devices. Breakthrough's content is critical to the medical field, but its print format could only extend to a limited audience. Our goal was to bring it online for the world to read and for Google to index.
This summer we continued our work with the Barnes Foundation Educational Department by updating materials that we began creating for them in 2012. Pieces include teacher workshop binders and a variety of classroom posters.
York College enlisted Skelton Sprouls as a communications partner to convey its brand, qualities, advantages, and value proposition to prospective undergraduate students through an integrated and strategic admissions marketing campaign. A new Viewbook and a Travel piece have been completed, and a Parents Guide and Visit Brochure will be added to the package this fall.
We designed the companion book for The Barnes Foundation’s summer exhibition: The Order of Things. The exhibition includes three large-scale installations by internationally renowned artists Mark Dion, Judy Pfaff, and Fred Wilson. The artists were commissioned by the Barnes to create their own interpretations of Barnes’s “ensemble” approach to displaying his collection. The book highlights each artist’s work along with responses to the question “How do you feel about the way Barnes installed his collection?” by artists, critics, art historians, curators, and collectors.
McDaniel College’s latest admissions booklet was designed to give readers an overview of their students-first philosophy. Through a customized curriculum, faculty mentors, and an individualized education plan, every aspect of the McDaniel experience is geared towards success.
The cover of the fall 2015 issue of McDaniel College’s McLive! features a sculpture by Baltimore artist Kyle Bauer.
The summer 2015 issue of Breakthrough magazine features a story about Beethoven’s 9th Symphony and how the music, a song of triumph, became the anthem at the Center for Innovative Medicine at Johns Hopkins.

Gina Skelton's new body of work is written up in Baltimore Style magazine this month. Almost 400 works on paper, each 7" X 7", are combined into finished pieces comprised of up to 80 images. Continuing her explorations of fragments, Skelton comments that she is “interested in the significance of each person’s profound and fleeting passage through the world and in the ways that each solitary story has a place in the long line of human history.”
