Conservation of Outdoor Sculpture in the St. Catherine University Fine Art Collection and Development of Outdoor Sculpture Corps
In 2021, St. Kate’s received a previous grant for a General Conservation Assessment and Preservation Plan for its Fine Art Collection. The plan aimed to establish an outdoor sculpture maintenance program and an Outdoor Sculpture Corps for sustainable care. With over 2,700 artworks, including outdoor sculptures, St. Kate’s hired the Midwest Art Conservation Center for a 2-day project to train staff and students in conservation treatment. The initiative created a community-based Corps for the ongoing maintenance and preservation of outdoor sculptures on campus.

The answers to this section are contained at the end of this document. MNHS said it was OK to save those answers as a pdf called Measurable Outcomes and upload it to the grants portal final report submission page, since I am discussing a lot of tables and graphs which would be impossible to embed in the field given.
