October 5th NTAAC Event - Discussion and Lunch

Do you know which conservation glass or plexiglas to choose for your next framing project? Join NTAAC and Jerry Cornelius of Canyon Creek Art, where he will discuss these conservation materials, how to decide which you should be using and what are the new products on the market. Jerry and staff have goodies and free items that they are going to be giving away. Who doesn't like free conservation items?

After our visit at Canyon Creek Art we will go across the street to Chiloso Mexican Bistro for lunch.

NTAAC Happy Hour - Drinks Over Broken Stuff

It's time for another NTAAC Happy Hour! Join us Monday, Sept. 21st at the Small Brewpub in Oakcliff.

 

We have all been working very hard this summer, focused on completing projects, writing reports, making quotes... So lets get together and enjoy some hand crafted beer, finely prepared pub grub and catch up on what is and isn't broken. (Small also serves wine, cocktails and Non-alcoholic drinks)

As always, NTAAC events are never limited to just art conservators, anyone who works with or around art, antiques or historic objects is welcome to join in the conversation. 

Monday, Sept 21st 5:30 - 7:30

Cheers!
