New Certificate in Art Collections Management, Registration and Display -
New York University

Dear Colleagues:

For those of you who have been inquiring as to where to obtain training in
registration and Collections Management, I'm delighted to announce a new
professional Certificate in Art Collections Management, Regisgtration and
Display that I've developed with New York University's School of Continuing
& Professional Studies (SCPS), launching this September 2011.

This Certificate opens up a wide range of career opportunities in museums,
auction houses, galleries and private and corporate art collections. With
the expansion and growth of the global art and artifact market, there is a
growing need for trained specialists with the abilities to manage, display,
install, handle and care for diverse collections. The Certificate in Art
Collections Management and Display includes course work in art handling and
registration methods; documentation and collections management policies;
basic conservation and preservation; and examination and installation of
works of art and artifacts. Students will gain the expert-level
understanding and technical knowledge to work with collections of any size
and medium. Instructors include Stefanii Ruta Atkins, Head Registrar at the
Museum of Modern Art; Chuck Agro, Manager of Packing and Art Services at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, myself, and other specialists. 

This new certificate program joins a series of very successful professional
art certificate programs at NYU that each year trains hundreds of students
to enter a new arts profession or to advance within their existing
professional positions. Enrollment will begin on-line in July, or contact
Terry Shtob, Ph.D. Director, Arts, Humanities and Writing Programs, NYU
School of Continuing & Professional Studies 726 Broadway, 6th floor, New
York, NY 10003, 212-998-7253, for course fees and to register. 

In the meantime, please feel free to contact me with any questions you might
have. I look forward to hearing from you and to seeing you at NYU in
September.
All best, Geri Thomas, President, Thomas & Associates, Inc., 212.779.7059,
