2015 Textile Specialty Group Achievement Award
The Textile Specialty Group of the American Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) is seeking nominations for the AIC-Textile Specialty Group Achievement Award. This award will be presented to an individual or entity that has promoted, defended and worked in support of the importance of textiles and their need for preservation. The Nominee must be a Professional Associate or Fellow of AIC. Dedication to the organization over their years of membership will be taken into consideration. The Proposer/Nominator should provide strong evidence in writing of the nominee’s commitment to the field in areas such as research, analysis, conservation, teaching, and support of the textile conservation community. The sixth TSG award will be presented at AIC in Miami, FL. We look forward to awarding the sixth
AIC-Textile Specialty Group Achievement Award.
Please note that for the 2015 cycle, there have been some changes made in order to bring the process more in line with the other AIC awards.
