About
I'm Kate Livingston,
and I'm passionately curious.
I started ExposeYourMuseum LLC in 2010 to help museums get out of their own way– and on to amazing things. I prioritize facilitating honest conversations, elevating marginalized voices, building capacity, engaging creatively, and strong, clear communication to inspire innovation, inform strategy, and drive decision-making.
​
I'm equal parts evaluator, coach, facilitator, strategist, creative, and change-maker.
​
I am based in the Mile High City (Denver, CO) and work worldwide. I am committed to inclusion and anti-racism, which I embed deeply in my work. (Here's one example.) My pronouns are she/her and they/them.
Consulting + Coaching Services
Not just museums!
I work alongside zoos, aquariums, historical sites, science centers, performing arts organizations, and all varieties of arts and cultural organizations. From comprehensive evaluation, to leadership coaching, to participatory staff workshops– I will craft a customized plan to ensure you achieve your goals.
Clients
I have the coolest job in the world.
My clients are why.
​
I have worked with some of the most interesting, inventive, curious, visionary, focused, collaborative, reflective, and ready-to-learn people out there. My clients are ready to take risks, do things differently, challenge themselves, and grow throughout the process.
​
I prioritize clients and projects with clear inclusion, access, equity,
and anti-oppression missions and values.
PROJECT PROFILES
Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History (Detroit, MI)
​
How can a museum new to evaluation cultivate and grow its evaluation capacity so that it's embraced and utilized across departments?
In this 3-year IMLS project, Kate serves as the Museum’s dedicated evaluation coach, demonstrating key evaluation approaches and methods, then transitioning evaluation to the Museum’s internal team– leading to a culture of in-house evaluation.
