Antiques Day at Maymont

VCA Members and Friends,

As a public outreach project for the VCA, we will be participating in "Antiques Day at Maymont", to be held October 4 from 10AM to 5PM.  This is an event where the public is invited to bring objects in for a conservation assessment and recommendations for care and conservation.

We're hoping to have at least one conservator from each of the five specialties (paintings, objects, paper, textiles and wooden objects) on hand for the full day.  We're breaking the day into three sessions, so, if you have only a few hours to spare,  you can choose to serve for one session rather than devoting the entire day. Because attendees will be bringing objects as well as space limitations in the room, you'll note that this event does not include specialties such as architecture or preventive conservation. However, please reach out if you would like to have your contact information or business cards available for referrals.

Participating conservators are encouraged to bring along materials and any other resources that may contribute to a good learning experience for attendees.  Conservators are also encouraged to bring along business cards or other contact information for follow-up assessments or treatment.

Please respond to the following Antiques Day at Maymont questionnaire no later than Friday, September 5.  We look forward to hearing from you.
