The Balboa Art Conservation Center offers a series of face-to-face workshops in coordination with museum associations throughout the Western Region. Workshop participants gain a more complete understanding of available preservation resources, have an opportunity to build peer alliances, and are introduced to tools essential when incorporating preservation into institutional planning and implementing collection care strategies.
Who should attend: staff involved in collections care activities, exhibition development or installation, institutional management, and collections stewardship. The workshops also make an excellent complement to related degree programs, and students are encouraged to attend.
