The Midwest Art Conservation Center offers a workshop to help.

 

Writing Grants for Advanced Conservation Projects

August 3-4, 2009 MINITEX – University of Minnesota

 

Long-Range Preservation / Conservation Plans, HVAC System upgrades, Rehousing Collections, Upgrading Storage Conditions, Improving Lighting Conditions, Environmental Monitoring Equipment, Object by Object surveys, and etc. How do you get funding for these larger preservation projects?

 

Federal funding programs require institutions to complete specific steps before funds for larger projects become available.

 

This workshop will provide instruction on these steps and direct participants toward the right funding source for their intended project.

 

Director of Preservation Services Neil Cockerline and MACC Executive Director Colin Turner will present this workshop and work personally with participants during and after the workshop to help them develop full grant applications.

 

 

Registration fees for this two-day workshop will be $236 for MACC Members ($295 without membership).

 

Institutions with budgets of $100,000 or less receive a 50% discount and currently enrolled students pay $100 for the two day workshop.
