Dear all, We here at the Ministry of Culture in Antigua and Barbuda (Caribbean) are hoping in very short time to apply for funding to assist with the rehabilitation of a small number of 20th-century artefacts (sculptures (mostly wooden), framed paintings, and wooden plaques) currently being housed at a site that is in severe disrepair. While we would ideally like to get started right away with the stabilisation and/or restoration of the items, we are aware that any expert approached would first like to assess the objects in person. To this end, I am asking after the availability of any conservator subscribed to this list to undertake an assessment/analysis over the course of 2018. Unfortunately, at this point, I can get no more specific than "sometime in 2018". Further, we are interested in knowing if it would be possible, with photos and dimensions given beforehand, for any guidance to be offered towards the formulation of a budget that would refer to the stabilisation and/or restoration of the sculpture pieces that are most under threat (from termite infestation). Warm regards. Hazra C.
