The association was founded in 2013 by a group of people involved in heritage protection in Poland. The main purpose was to support, financially and organizationally, the Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. Indeed, during the last years we have regularly covered the costs of field practices, materials and equipment used by the students, thus supporting the educational process. Another area of our activity is research, as many of our members are the employees of the Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art. The association organizes seminars and workshops comprising the new technologies introduced to art conservation. The main target groups of our activity are conservation students and young conservators, however our events are frequented also by members of other related branches, regardless of age.
