Registration and a preliminary agenda are now available online for the Conserving Canvas Symposium to be held from October 14 - October 17 2019. Hosted by the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage at Yale University, lead support for this conference is provided by the Getty Foundation as part of its Conserving Canvas Initiative. The Symposium will address historical approaches to the structural treatment of canvas paintings; current methods, materials, and research; and the challenges facing the structural conservation of modern and contemporary works. With today's field embracing minimal-intervention techniques and maintaining differing opinions on the efficacy of more invasive approaches, the symposium will provide a long overdue forum to reevaluate historical and current practices as well as inform future directions for the conservation of canvas painting. The cost of registration is $125. Registration, travel information, a preliminary agenda, and discounted hotel rates are available on the registration website: http://www.cvent.com/events/conserving-canvas-symposium/event-summary-f6e6285779154700acb000934e204055.aspx.
