Every September, the department hosts a conservation clinic allowing members of the public as well as museum and institutional professionals to bring in artworks or artifacts for assessment of possible conservation treatment. The past few years, this event has been impacted by the pandemic but in the future, we hope to be able to go back to having an in-person Clinic.
During Clinic, an assessment is completed by our faculty and all examination, documentation, and conservation treatment procedures are completed by students under faculty supervision. Our Clinic is by appointment only and not open to the public. If you would like an invitation to our annual Clinic, please contact our main office at (716) 878-5025 or send an email to artcon@buffalostate.edu.
