July, received notice from the Conservation Center for the Art and Historic Artifacts that the Noyes has been selected to participate in a Vulnerability Assessment Program. This program is partially funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. The purpose of this assessment is to assist the museum in identifying and being prepared for potential threats and risks to the collection and to offer potential strategies for mitigating those risks.

The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts has grown to be one of the largest regional conservation laboratories in the country. Its wide array of services, sophisticated treatment facilities, innovative approaches, and highly trained and experienced staff have earned it a prominent and respected place in the conservation field.

Upcoming workshops at the Noyes:

HANDS-ON VISUAL ART PROJECT: SWEET MUD PAINTING
Utilizing the technique made famous by renowned folk artist, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, participants will create original art using a media known as “Sweet Mud,” a combination of beach sand and syrup, with added pigmentation. In the tradition of folk art, participants will paint on recycled materials such as cardboard, wood and, here at the Jersey shore, driftwood. Wear your old clothes!

HANDS-ON PERCUSSION WORKSHOP
Facilitated by percussionist Michael Hoebler, this workshop will focus on Afro-Cuban rhythms and drums, and participants will learn the basic techniques of hand drumming, utilizing a variety of different instruments. An instrument-building component will teach participants how they can build their own instruments out of found and recycled materials.
