For the last two years, the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery has been working on a conservation project to inventory and assess the 9,000-plus works on paper in the collection. In addition, over 100 works from the collection have received specialized conservation treatment. Recent funding from a Museums Assistance Program grant will allow the gallery to continue this project.

To provide further information about the conservation project and give visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the process, a Gallery Open House will be held Oct. 13-16, in conjunction with the installation of new University of Lethbridge President Dr. Michael Mahon.
