2023 Awardees
Description
The Greater Hudson Heritage Network (GHHN) and the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) are awarding $177,384 in conservation treatment grants to 28 organizations, located in 18 New York counties. Conservation Treatment Grants fund professional conservation to stabilize and preserve historical objects and works of art in New York museums, history centers, and cultural organizations.
The Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation is generously providing 50% of the funding for conservation treatment projects on Nassau & Suffolk counties and New York City.
Over the past year, the NYSCA/GHHN Conservation Treatment Grants guidelines were revised to make funding more accessible for projects that reflect the spectrum of communities and cultures across New York State. Supported conservation projects include a yueqin, a traditional Chinese pluck string instrument from the Museum of Chinese in America; an early 19-century Medicine Chest & Glass Bottles from the Quogue Historical Society; 16th-century oil-on-wood-panel painting of Madonna and Child in a Landscape by Andrea Previtali (ca. 1580-1528) at the Yager Museum of Art & Culture at Hartwick College; Tony Bennett’s portrait of Louis Armstrong at the Louis Armstrong House Museum; and a settle (bench) designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Graycliff. A full list of recipients can be found below.
