Greetings C2C Members!
Balboa Art Conservation Center (BACC) is pleased to announce our 2026 cycle of the California Inclusive Preservation Program (CIPP)! CIPP is an education and training program designed to expand access to collections care knowledge. There are three ways to participate in CIPP, whether you're looking for a deep, supported experience or a single learning opportunity, there's a way to take part.
-
Join the CIPP Cohort - A fully supported experience for caretakers seeking in-depth learning, peer discussion, and hands-on training over the full program cycle. Participation is determined through an application process and the deadline to apply is March 20th, 2026.
-
Participate in an In-Person Workshop - Three-day, hands-on, immersive training workshops held across California for focused, practical skill-building, shared learning, and decision-making confidence.
-
Attend Virtual Lectures - Open to anyone, these live virtual, conservator-led learning sessions are designed to build practical collections-care knowledge.
