This annual conference showcases student research in easel painting
and works of art on paper from the Hamilton Kerr Institute, the
Courtauld Institute of Arts and Northumbria University Newcastle
upon Tyne.  We are delighted to announce Godfrey Worsdale, Director
of the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, shall be
opening the conference.  During the one day proceedings a diverse
range of papers will be presented reflecting traditional concerns,
as well as the challenges associated with modern materials and mixed
media art-works.

The day will be followed by an evening reception, providing an
opportunity for students, academics and practitioners to network and
share ideas.

On Tuesday 9 June 2015 there will be the option to join tours of the
Conservation Department and Fine Art Paper Studio, dedicated to
paper-making and drawing.  There will also be an opportunity to
attend a short workshop on the application of the latest FTIR + UV
microscope presented by PerkinElmer UK who specialise in analytical
instruments, diagnostics and laboratory technology.
