A panel discussion with audience participation, intended to widen
the scope of contemporary discussions and planning of conservation
education to include the present state and future prospects of
educational resources outside the university conservation schools.
Each panelist works with such a resource. This program is designed
for the general art community, for academic students and advisors,
and for conservators.  Several pages of current information on
conservation education will be handed out.
 
Moderator: Sarah Lowengard, textile conservator and educator in
History, Art History and Conservation, NYC.

monuments, and in nurturing competence in art historians and art
conservators, The Kress Foundation has awarded hundreds of
fellowships to young conservators for further experience after
completing formal study.  Originally educated in the History of
Art, Ackerman has since 1982 been increasingly instrumental in
Kress Foundation programs, which she now administers and oversees.
