The Midwest Art Conservation Center (MACC), in partnership with the Washington State Arts Commission (ArtsWA), will support emergency preparedness in public art collections through the development of tools for remote risk assessment, mapping, and emergency plans. This phase of the project will survey emergency preparedness activities and needs for public art collections in the United States, develop a reproducible logical framework for assessing risk remotely, and use that framework to evaluate data from a subset of the ArtsWA collection. This planning phase will conclude with a draft emergency planning document for ArtsWA, a review of the success of the framework, and a roadmap for future modifications and scaling. This project will use existing and accessible technology to fill a void in emergency planning for cultural heritage; it will create a resource that can be adapted and used freely by public art collections nationwide. |

The Midwest Art Conservation Center will support emergency preparedness in public art collections through the development of tools for remote risk assessment and emergency planning. This is a Tier 2 implementation application and follows the successful completion of a Tier 1 planning grant awarded by the NEH in 2021. This phase will apply a risk assessment protocol developed in phase 1 to artworks in the collections of five diverse partner organizations. It will develop a free toolkit for public art collections nationwide and provide training for a wider group of public art caretakers to independently perform similar remote risk assessments and develop emergency plans for their collections. This project will use existing and accessible GIS mapping technology to fill a void in emergency planning for cultural heritage; it will create a resource that can be adapted and used freely by public art collections nationwide, ultimately improving their sustainability and resilience. |
