Over 160 CALA volunteers offered their expertise and support a public Conservation Clinic series organized by Art Recovery LA, in collaboration with Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture. These clinics took place at the Armory Center for Art in Pasadena, MOCA’s Geffen Contemporary in downtown LA, the Getty Center in Brentwood, and the Altadena Library. We provided support to 430 community members with objects damaged by LA’s January fires.
