Types of Projects
The Greenwood Fund supports two types of museum projects:
- Conservation treatment of art and objects and
- Collections care, including supplies, equipment, and personnel including contract personnel.
Conservation is a discipline that seeks to extend the lifespan of artworks and cultural heritage objects through interventive treatments such as cleaning, reassembly, stabilization, or by providing an environment that helps protect against agents of deterioration including insect pests, light, vandalism, and chemically unstable storage materials.
An important aspect of collections care is the use of appropriate, approved storage materials and furniture which is typically the purview of a curator/collections manager.
Funding Information
Grants typically range from $1,000 – $5,000.
