2012 New York Conservation Treatment Grant Program

Deadline: June 1, 2012

The Conservation Treatment Grant Program, administered by the Greater Hudson Heritage Network (GHHN), in the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), provides support for treatment procedures to aid in stabilizing and preserving objects in collections of museums, historical, and cultural organizations in New York State. The work must be performed by, or under direct supervision of, a professional conservator.

What is funded:
Support of up to $7,500 is available for conservation treatment of paintings, works on paper (including individual drawings, watercolors, prints, or photographs), textiles, furniture, frames, sculptures, and other collections.

Eligibility:
Non-profit museums and historical organizations or other cultural institutions that own, care for and exhibit collections to the public. Grant awards will be made to institutions lacking in-house conservation staff with expertise in the area for which support is requested.
