As part of the firm’s ongoing relationship with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, we have just completed the installation of new exhibits in the Jacksonville branch. This supersize $100k bill (now you know which President is featured on that rare denomination) greets visitors to the Bank’s main public space. Other exhibits in Jacksonville’s facilities are modular variations on the original installation we designed at the Atlanta Fed’s main headquarters in Atlanta.

Opening to the public on Tuesday, November 18th, this interactive exhibit designed by C&G Partners celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the independent deposit insurance agency created by Congress in 1933 to maintain stability and public confidence in the nation’s banking system. The exhibition, open to the public on 17th Street in Washington, DC, a block from the White House, steps through the history of the institution, the forces that steered its evolution, and its mission to protect the financial well-being of all Americans. Originally planned to be a year of retrospective celebration, the anniversary year actually fell during one of the most hard-hitting financial crises of modern times.
