This day-long programme of talks and presentations is aimed at the non-public facing exhibition staff, registrars, collection managers and technicians working behind the scenes. It is an opportunity to come together to celebrate the hidden mahi being done in the gallery and museum sector. By sharing knowledge in this open and friendly forum, we hope to foster collegiality, identify common issues and think about ways of working together to make better use of shared resources. Gloves On is brought to you in partnership with National Services Te Paerangi.
