Workshop on grant writing

The Midwest Art Conservation Center (formerly Upper Midwest
Conservation Association) Presents Grant Writing for Advanced
Conservation Projects

This advanced level workshop is a new addition to MACC's annual line
up. MACC staff will teach the first day of this two-day workshop,
and consultant Barbara Davis will teach the second day.  The
instructors will present a comprehensive workshop on grant-writing
for advanced conservation-related projects such as: HVAC System
upgrades; major storage renovations or additions, Object-by-Object
detailed surveys of collections; actual conservation treatments and
other large scale or large budget preservation and conservation
projects. The second day of the workshop taught by Barbara Davis
will concentrate on writing grant proposals to private funding
sources for matching funds. The goal of the workshop is for
participants to leave the session with a realistic and practical
understanding of advanced grant writing for large scale or large
budget preservation and conservation project proposals. Preservation
Services staff will then follow-up with participants who are
developing full grant applications.  This workshop will take place
from 9:30-4:30 at the St. Paul Public Library in St. Paul, Minnesota
on May 25-26, 2006.

Registration fees for this two-day workshop will be $235 for MACC
members and $295 for non-members.  Staff and volunteers from
institutions with a total operating budget below $50,000 per year
qualify for a reduced fee in the amount of $130 for MACC members and
$200 for non-members.  Fees for students (those currently enrolled
in Undergraduate or Graduate Study Programs, including interns and
fellows) will be $80 for each two-day workshop. MACC accepts credit
card payments.
