Fisk University (Fisk University Galleries)

Fisk University will collaborate with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Alliance of HBCU Museums and Galleries to train students in conservation and registration and perform an assessment of the Fisk Galleries’ holdings. The project goals are to increase public access to Fisk University’s collection through a collections assessment and to build capacity through the recruitment and training of 25 HBCU students (2 Fellows, 2 Student Artisans, and 21 training participants) in the fields of conservation and registration. Through this program, Fisk hopes to demonstrate that museums can affordably provide training for new entrants to the conservation and registration fields without requiring unpaid internships or further graduate study.
