Hi All,
Any suggestions on funding possibilities for me to go to Acre for the
conservation internship. The International Conservation Center is
willing to support my participation with the maximum scholarship of
USD $ 6,000 for full tuition but I still need USD $ to cover my stay.
In addition I need a sponsor for my return airfare.
Please help with suggestions. Mus'Art Gallery has existed for 16 years
with no conservator. I have never received conservation training. This
a great opportunity to acquire conservation knowledge which is a must
for the future of our museum. Some of our objects urgently require
conservation in order to stop deterioration.
With regards,
Peter Musa
