SGF, Supreme Grumble Framer
From time to time I get e-mails notifying me about upcoming art conservation/art history lectures and programs. I thought some of you might be interested.
I, and others, tried to think of a less obtrusive way of posting them, but this seems the easiest. If this is irritating SPAM-like reading for you, please let me know and I won't repeat; alternately, if it's interesting/useful let me know and I will repeat. I get them about 1ce a month. Thanks,
Rebecca
