Conservation Assistants

With diverse backgrounds in history, preservation and studio arts, particularly sculpture, and typically holding bachelor’s and master’s degrees, conservation assistants are carefully trained in all aspects of the conservation processes. Their wealth of knowledge, artistic sensitivity to materials and excellent sense of craftsmanship have made them a tremendous asset to Conserve ART and the conservation profession.

Current and past assistants contribute their experience to the field and our greater social needs on a national level through teaching sculpture and conservation, directing conservation programs, and designing and sculpting of naturalistic prosthetics for our nation’s veterans.

Conserve ART is an equal opportunity employer.
