[Preservenw] ARCS Courier Training Workshop in Portland on June 22 and 23

[Samantha Springer]

Description & Registration

The role of a courier can be an exciting but stressful responsibility when
managing loans and exhibitions. The Covid pandemic certainly created some
new challenges, but methods emerged to streamline oversight of objects in
certain scenarios. ARCS is pleased to announce the return of the Courier
Training Workshop, a program to better equip registrars and collections
specialists to handle the challenges and curveballs of traveling with
objects, especially internationally. ARCS first presented the Courier
Training Workshop in March 2020, and we are thrilled to be back to present
the first in-person program in 3 years. Please join us for a *pair of
one-day workshops designed to equip both individual couriers and their
managers with tools needed for success.* Attend one or both days to
strengthen your couriering skills and learn how to train others for the
journey.

The workshop is  based on the *Courier Training Program Framework*,
developed by the European Registrars Group to promote best practices in the
museum and gallery sector. This curriculum - *adapted for a US-focus* -
provides attendees with comprehensive manuals for both courier and manager
including training presentations and real-world scenarios. Sessions will be
led by:

   - *Jacqueline Cabrera, *Principal, Cabrera + Art + Management
   LLC. Jacqui planned and collaborated with the EU Registrars to present the
   2020 workshop
   - *Tina Sullivan, *Vice President of Fine Arts, Masterpiece International
   - *Rita Gomez, *Lead Preparator, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA

*Day One* *of the workshop will be geared toward professionals responsible
for outgoing loans and couriers. *This workshop will provide an overview of
the courier framework, followed by an in-depth session that will enable you
to train your couriers and potentially develop your own training materials
based on the framework.

*Day Two will be geared towards both new and experienced couriers.* Sessions
will detail the purpose and responsibilities of couriers; how to prepare
loans for travel; condition reporting; transit practices by land, air, and
water; dealing with the unexpected; and courier do’s and don’ts.

*Please note: Managers of couriers are encouraged to attend both days to
gain this first-hand experience of training with the framework.
