Beloit College (Wright Museum of Art, Beloit College)

The Wright Museum of Art at Beloit College will hire two senior painting conservators to conduct a detailed, object-by-object condition survey of 191 paintings in its collection to establish a foundation for the prioritization of future conservation treatments. The survey will be an integral component in planning for upgraded storage furniture and in writing a paintings conservation plan for the museum. The conservators will also host a free workshop for the community of Beloit and will highlight the basics of painting deterioration and preventative care in an effort to assist community members with the care of family heirlooms and artwork. The event will also be open to all Beloit College students, faculty, and staff.
