Conference on public outreach

Playing to the Galleries and Engaging New Audiences: The Public Face
    of Conservation
Hennage Auditorium
DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum
325 West Francis Street
Williamsburg, Virginia
November 14-16, 2011

Outreach has become a large part of the conservator's life; from
behind-the-scenes tours to working in the galleries, exhibits to
video-learning or even blogs, conservators increasingly find
themselves asked to talk about their work and the need for it.  Each
institution and each conservator within that organization adopts a
unique approach to outreach that fits within the available resources
and meets the institutional needs.  This conference provides
conservators and educators an opportunity to talk about what has
worked and what hasn't and to explore the impact that conservation
programming has on audiences. Session topics include: engaging
communities, presenting conservation through exhibits, communicating
technical analysis, framing the public face of conservation and the
role of social media in presenting conservation.
