Conservation

Supporters of the Whitney’s Conservation Department provide essential funding for the on-going research of artistic technique and the preservation of art. Throughout the year, supporters are given the opportunity to participate in discussions with Department members as well as with renowned scholars, gaining valuable insight into each artist’s method and the innovative approaches needed to treat and study the art in the Whitney’s collection.

SUPPORT: Suggested support begins with an annual gift of $1,000 and up.

BENEFITS OF SUPPORT:
