Learn the intricate processes involved in restoring the beauty and integrity of significant pieces of the PhxArt fashion collection as presented by local conservator Martha Winslow Grimm. Witness the steps involved in digitally cataloguing over 9,000 objects to aid in properly identifying and marketing the collection to Museum patrons and other art institutions with Katie Jones-Weinart, Digital Assets Manager, and Rebekah Moynahan, Digitization Coordinator.

ACI Members are welcomed to attend and may invite one guest to join them.
