The workshop series Cleaning of Acrylic Painted Surfaces began in 2009 and has reached over 130 practicing conservators through workshops in the United States, Canada, England, Australia, Germany, Argentina, and Brazil. The workshops disseminate a wealth of new information and research about acrylic paints that conservators can tailor to address specific problems and contexts.

The didactic materials below were created for the 2013 workshop series.
