While large museums often have onsite conservators, many museums, historical societies, and historic homes have little or no access to conservation services on a regular basis. This workshop is designed for you!

The workshop will begin with an overview of conservation and preservation basics for cultural heritage professionals. Then, attendees will get to chart their own path specific to their collections choosing from three of five mini-breakout sessions for 30 minutes each on specific topics including:

Care and handling of works on paper
Care and handling of textiles
Care and handling of paintings
Care and handling of objects (including plastics)
Educating your visitors about conservation and preservation.

The workshop will conclude with a community conversation about our region’s greatest needs in terms of conservation and preservation.

This session is perfect for those who work in collections care, or those who want to learn more about conservation and preservation.

As communities face ever-changing challenges and new opportunities, the need for creative problem solving has increased. In response, the interest in cultural and artistic solutions to community development issues grows among both arts and non-arts agencies.

This session will focus on resourcing individuals and organizations interested in growing in arts-based community development work. This panel discussion will focus on the framework for defining success, creative agency, and leveraging partnerships. The workshop will include resources as well as case studies from which to find inspiration.

This session is perfect for organizations of all sizes (arts and non-arts) as well as artists and individuals interested in community development work.
