In this free workshop, conservator Kiernan Graves will discuss the fundamentals of assessing the environment as well as other potential risks that can affect your artworks, providing tools and tips to help artists minimize them. The goal is to help artists create murals with maximum longevity by making informed choices throughout all phases of their process.
