Friends Group Project #4

I delivered three objects from the UNI Permanent Art Collection to the Midwest Art Conservation Center (MACC) on Friday, Nov. 12, 2021. MACC will create treatment proposals and begin work on our Hofmann painting on paper, our Vandenberge ceramic sculpture, and our one-and-only Renaissance oil on canvas. All this with the blessing and support of the Friends of the PAC&G.

Rainy, sleety day on the road, but all arrived safely.
