Curious about conservation? This is your chance to learn more! Join us at a very special Behind-the-Scenes on Friday, March 29. A panel of conservators - specializing in objects, paintings, and paper will explain what conservation is, what a conservator does, and the conservation process (including examination, documentation, what goes into a condition report, understanding a treatment proposal, and how price quotes are reached). The panel of conservators includes:

- Rachael Arenstein, Object conservator
- Ann Baldwin, Paper conservator
- Michele Kay, Painting conservator 
- Anne King, Object conservator
- Kerith Koss Schrager, Object conservator
- Eugenie Milroy, Object conservator 

Afterwards, we will have a special tour of the A.M. Art Conservation studio - and always, there will be time for questions, wine, hors d'oeuvres, and conversation! We will also have the chance to view ArtsWestchester's newly opened "Modern Families" exhibit - and a representative from ArtsWestchester will be on hand to discuss their available funding opportunities. Space is very limited! Don't miss out!


Thank you to ArtsWestchester for hosting this event! 


Workshop 1: Interpreters as Storytellers: 
Shaping the Narrative, Sharing the Story 
with Tom Lee, Consultant Educator and Storyteller 
 
Tuesday, April 2, 2019
Boscobel House and Gardens
GHHN Members: $45 NonMembers: $55
9:30 AM - 4:00 PM

Every compelling story, from the simplest to the most complex, can be distilled down to a few basic and common components. Participants will gain insights into identifying the structure or "bones" of any story and how they can enrich their tour programs by applying this view of story structure to a range of stories embedded  in their tours. Biographical sketches, the chronology of the construction of a house, the political and economic forces in play at any period of history, as well as popular  stories  and folktales can be shaped into compelling, engaging  stories

Full-day workshops include lite breakfast, luncheon, afternoon coffee break, and reference materials. 

Psst...You can still sign up for all three workshops in the series to enjoy a 
12.5% discount!
$120/pp for all three workshops - GHHN Members
