Conservation in Action

Join collections staff in the Agents of Care gallery to discuss recent artworks that have undergone conservation and what those projects entailed, including the restoration of Frank Mechau’s mural Wild Horses, Emanuel Martinez’s mural Arte Mestiza, and Marisol Escobar’s sculpture John Wayne. View a slide show of images from before, during, and after treatment, and get an up-close look at damaged fragments removed and saved during repair. Learn how the museum prioritizes these projects, the work that goes into making them a reality, and upcoming conservation needs and long-term goals. Join us in conversation and discover how you can support this work, preserving the FAC art collection for generations to come. This event is free and open to the public.
