The Agnes Etherington Art Centre and Queen’s University’s Master of Art Conservation Program are pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted from experienced textile conservators for the 2013 Isabel Bader Research Fellowship in Textile Conservation.
The Isabel Bader Research Fellowship in Textile Conservation is a research initiative, promoting investigation and research in the areas of textile conservation and costume history. Through the generous support of Dr. Isabel Bader, the Fellowship links two of the University’s unique resources: the Queen’s University Collection of Canadian Dress at the Art Centre, which comprises over 2,000 articles of fashion from the early 1800s to the 1970s, and the Master of Art Conservation Program, which offers Canada’s only graduate degree in conservation theory and treatment.
Under the Isabel Bader Research Fellowship in Textile Conservation, the incumbent will undertake a three-month residency in Kingston to research a proposed project in textile conservation and/or costume history, using the Queen’s University Collection of Canadian Dress and the well-equipped laboratories of the Master of Art Conservation Program. The deadline for applications is 3 August 2012. Valued at $12,000 CDN, the Fellowship begins in January 2013.
