Conservator in Residence Series: Condition Assessment and Treatment Proposals with Spencer Montcalm

Join Conservator in Residence, Spencer Montcalm for a series of programs in the third floor gallery!

Art Conservators do a condition assessment to learn about the materials and construction of a work of art. Conservation issues can be identified during this process.  A conservation treatment plan to remedy these issues can then be prepared.  These plans include all treatment steps, a cost estimate, and a treatment timeline.  Conservation treatment can begin after approval by the legal custodian of the artwork.

Join Spencer in the gallery space as he assesses these featured artworks:
Isabel McLaughlin’s Nipissing Mine, Cobalt, Ontario
Roland Brener’s Mini Monster House (variations 1, 2, and 3)
James Kerr-Lawson’s Boston, Lincolnshire
Susan Gold’s The Specimens
