Useful Recommendations for Post-Graduate

Entry-level and internship work provides art conservators with hands-on training they need to work in the field and the opportunity to build a portfolio. Working under a skilled conservator allows the novice conservator to observe various restoration and preservation methods while developing a collection of successful projects.

Take Advantage of Continuing Education Opportunities

Some institutions offer conferences, symposiums and workshops in art conservation. Attending these events allows an art conservator to stay aware of the latest advances and research and meet and connect with others in the field. Professional organisations, such as the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, provide access to job boards, continuing education resources and networking opportunities.
