Community Conservation Clinic

The objects we own carry meaningful and important stories, from a childhood blanket or favorite t-shirt, to a ticket from a memorable movie night or a family album. Or these objects are works of art, antiques, and collectibles.

We want to hear the stories your objects carry, and help you preserve them.

We invite you to spend the evening with art conservators thinking about how to best preserve your object for the future. Bring in a meaningful item, share its story and how you care for it, and together we’ll preserve these memories and objects. You’ll also have the opportunity to pack up your items for safekeeping in materials traditionally used in museums. All materials will be provided. This is a family-friendly event, and multiple members of a family are encouraged to attend.

This event will be facilitated by Anisha Gupta, conservator, educator, and doctoral candidate at the University of Delaware.
