Connecting to Collections Leads to Fund-Raising Success

Connecting to Collections: The National Summit, held in June 2007, is bearing fund-raising fruit for participants.

Robbin Zella, Director of the Housatonic Museum of Art, credits her participation in the Summit and the tour of the Lunder Conservation Center with enabling her to initiate a fundraising campaign. Through an “Adopt a Painting” program, her museum has successfully raised $50,000 to care for their artwork. They will be retrofitting their storage with a new HVAC system for environmental control and will be creating new conservation/preservation didactics in an exhibition space.
