appropriate to their specific needs and experience level.
Participants may select up to three workshops (one per day).

involved in collections care management, institutional development
and policy making, and exhibition development and installations.
Students in degree-related programs are also encouraged to attend.

Participants from qualifying institutions may apply for stipend

support was provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
