Mission Statement
The Washington Conservation Guild (WCG) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of conservation professionals dedicated to preserving art and historic materials. WCG serves as a regional forum for its members and as a resource to the public for learning about the care of personal collections.
About This Cause
Founded in 1967, the Washington Conservation Guild (WCG) is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of material culture. Our educational association promotes the exchange of ideas and knowledge through tours, lectures, workshops, and symposia. The Guild offers a forum for sharing conservation information and interacting with colleagues through a program of monthly lecture meetings (October through May), a dynamic website, a Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter feeds, a membership directory, outreach activities, informal gatherings, intern/fellow activities, and occasional workshops and special lectures. WCG is based in Washington, D.C., and draws its membership primarily from Washington, Maryland, and northern Virginia. Members represent a wide cross-section of the conservation community and allied professions. They work in government, state, and private museums, studios, and laboratories, and other cultural and academic institutions and organizations. They are conservators, student and others simply interested in the conservation of art and historic materials. WCG is governed by an all-volunteer, membership-elected Board of Directors. The Board is composed of five officers and several directors. In addition, there are committees with Board-appointed chairs. We invite members to become active in the WCG by running for board positions and working on committees.
