Art Conservation Angel Day May 11th

The original Angel Day was started at the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) annual conference, which brings together a lot of art conservators into one place. Angel Day asks for volunteers to help a small local museum or historic collection on a small project. By donating a little of time and skills, simple projects like sorting files, applying catalogue numbers to objects or dusting old victorian parlors (projects that are the bane of most institutions) can be accomplished in a single day. The AIC Angel Day program has been so successful that NTAAC is adopting the idea.

So, we are happy to announce the first annual NTAAC Angle Day. On Saturday, May 11th we will be meeting up with Evelyn Montgomery at the Dallas Heritage Village at 9:30am.

The focus of our project will be rehousing and photographing the boxed textile collection. Of course if a big bunch of people show up I am sure Evelyn can find other things on her to do list for us to work.

This event is open to all members and friends of NTAAC. Please bring a bagged lunch and water. Wear long pants and sensible closed-toe shoes. You are also welcome to bring your kits and safety equipment. You never know what Evelyn may come up with for the group to do.

NTAAC looks forward to continuing Angel Day as an annual event, with that in mind, if you know of collections that could benefit from a day of conservator/curator help please let us know.
