WHY JOIN BACC?
Cultural institutions receive incredible art conservation and collections care benefits when they become a member of BACC including member rates, priority scheduling, and access to specialized staff, equipment, and techniques. Our highly-trained conservators are experts in science- and art-based work, enabling our members to preserve their collections while enhancing educational programs that can broaden a museum or cultural center’s reach and appeal to the public. In turn, becoming a member of BACC supports the center and its important work. |
