Art Curation & Conservation
Easel Paintings and Paper
August 12 - 22, 2026: Registration is open.
A hands-on and reflective program bridging two distinct yet interrelated practices: the conservation of paintings and works on paper, and the curation of exhibitions that give them renewed life and context. Participants will work directly with artworks while exploring how curatorial vision shapes meaning, display, and audience connection.
This program offers a comprehensive exploration of the diverse and interdisciplinary fields of conservation and art curation, connecting theory and practice. Participants will gain experience in the conservation of paintings on canvas and paper, as well as in the broader field of cultural presentation.
Open to conservation students, professionals, and cultural heritage enthusiasts, this immersive short course provides the opportunity to deepen understanding of conservation principles and develop practical skills in authentic settings. Participants will learn conservation techniques, analyze materials, and discuss ethical considerations in conservation while working directly with historical artifacts under the guidance of experts.
The Art Curation module introduces students to the practice of curating through discussion and hands-on activities. Participants will explore the role and responsibilities of the curator, study notable exhibition case studies, and experiment with developing their own curatorial concepts. From writing labels and curatorial statements to drafting exhibition layouts, students will gain practical insights into how curators shape the way artworks are experienced. The module encourages confidence, collaboration, and the development of an individual curatorial voice, while highlighting the connection between conservation and curating.
