Inspired by the classic "Antiques Roadshow," this benefit presentation focuses exclusively on the restoration potential of fine art oil paintings. Whether you’re curious about the factors that contribute to a painting’s deterioration or eager to learn about effective conservation techniques, this session promises an incredibly knowledge-packed afternoon—with absolutely no sales pitches involved!

‍

How it works:

• Live Evaluation: Participants are invited to submit their paintings online for review. Once registered, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to a submission form. (You’ll be asked to provide front and back photos of your painting, dimensions, and any known details along with your contact information.)
• In-Person Review: Five submissions will be chosen for a live evaluation by Troy Amuso during the event. If selected, you will be invited to bring your painting to Dewy Hall for a hands-on review.
• No Submission? No Problem! You’re welcome to attend solely to learn about the restoration process without submitting a painting.
