Riza A ROMERO

Grants

To benchmark art conservation degree programs in New York and the U.S. through observation, events, and dialogues. Over the course of her six-month fellowship, Romero will observe training and service delivery at the Metropolitan Museum, attend MoMA conservation events, and build ties with conservation experts, gaining and exchanging knowledge and ideas related to conservation curriculum design, pedagogy, and facilities. Her primary objective is to help develop a robust, internationally competitive art conservation program in the Philippines, addressing the critical lack of formal training in the field.
