The Association of Registrars and Collections Specialists (ARCS) provides resources and programs for all persons who work with and support collections, whether in a museum or in a private or corporate collection. ARCS, with the generous assistance of COOKE'S CRATING & FINE ART TRANSPORTATION, INC., offers travel stipends to assist eight (8) registrars or collections specialists, including students or retirees in the field, to attend the ARCS Biennial Meeting which will take place November 12 to 15, 2015, in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. We will try to fund representatives from organizations of different sizes and disciplines, in different locations throughout the world.
The Biennial Meeting offers general sessions for all attendees as well as breakout sessions focused on collections care topics and provides opportunities to meet and network with other professionals in the field or in related support services. Five awardees from North or Central America will receive $1,000 each from COOKE'S CRATING & FINE ART TRANSPORTATION, INC., and three awardees from other parts of the world will receive $2,000 each from ARCS to help defray the costs of attending this conference. In return, the recipient agrees to write a two- page review of a session. The specific session will be mutually agreed upon and coordinated by an Awards Committee member prior to the conference and the report will be due to ARCS by December 1, 2015. Applicants for this fellowship must be current voting members of ARCS in good standing. Selection of the recipients will be based upon demonstrated merit, dedication to their work as registrars or collections specialists, and financial need.
