Facilitated by Tate Registrars and taking place in venues across the UK from April 2018, this workshop series will aim to explore a deeper understanding of the principles of collection management and how to bring judgement to their application.
With training delivered across two days, the workshops will be a forum for discussing the sharing of collections in all ways imaginable; through lending and borrowing, acquiring, transfers between collections, sharing ownership and making collections accessible through documentation.
These workshops are open to staff and volunteers from museums, galleries and other publicly accessible venues that are able to (or have the potential to) borrow, lend or acquire artworks.
Workshop participants will be eligible to apply for bursaries for strategic loans from Tate’s National Collection of British Art.
