Development of a Long-Range Conservation Plan at the Ulrich Museum of Art
The hiring of a preservation consultant by the Ulrich Museum of Art to develop a long-range conservation plan, which would prioritize the museum collection's conservation needs, and to provide training in disaster preparedness for the museum's registrar/collections manager. The collection, consisting of over 7,000 works, includes paintings, prints, and sculpture of European and American modernism and American abstract art since 1920. The museum also holds collections of photography, African American art, and contemporary video art.
The Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita State University, requests $6,000 from NEH for support of professional assistance in developing a Long Range Conservation Plan. The project will prioritize the conservation needs of the Ulrich Museum's growing collection and lay the groundwork for the development of a comprehensive, museum-wide Conservation Plan.
