Hi All,

We are restructuring and expanding our conservation efforts and thought it was a good time to reach out to public art conservators in an effort to identify those in the field that we may not be aware of, and to also reconnect with conservators we may not have worked with in some time. We have a handful of specialized conservation / restoration projects coming up and this will help identify a pool for upcoming bid requests. Below, is a brief overview:
