Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation Conservation Grant, with an application deadline in December, offers numerous awards of $50000 each.

Description

The Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation Conservation Grant will annually award and distribute up to $50,000 among selected proposals chosen by an international jury of experts in the field. This funding is intended for conservators, curators, or other stakeholders working in museums or academic institutions and will be awarded to projects with the potential to make significant contributions to the preservation and conservation of South American viceregal art. International applicants, particularly those from Latin America, are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants are required to propose projects that focus on preventive conservation, the restoration of artworks in need of care, the acquisition of laboratory equipment, or the organization of preservation/conservation workshops or symposia. The proposed project must include a preservation/conservation professional who would either work individually or lead an interdisciplinary team that could include academic institution/museum staff, conservation scientists, curators, art historians, and other relevant experts.
