    With the funding landscape rapidly shifting and federal funding for sustainable collections management and art conservation under threat, what are some ways that collections caretakers can leverage existing resources and opportunities that are already out there to support their short and long term collections care plans? 

    This lecture will highlight ways in which collection caretakers can utilize free/low cost resources currently available from the preservation field as well as key opportunities for collaboration to better understand, maintain, and advocate for their collections. Topics will include mutual aid, resource mobilization, and alternative fundraising models, such as crowdfunding and sponsorships. 

    Presenters: 

    Bellie Camp, Arts Administrator/Professional Textile Conservator/MBA Student at Wharton School

    Leticia Gomez Franco, Executive Director of the Balboa Art Conservation Center
