The Balboa Art Conservation Center (BACC) is a nonprofit regional conservation center devoted to the preservation of material culture in the areas of art and history. BACC serves both institutions and private clients throughout Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington.
Services offered by BACC range from treatment and technical analysis to education and emergency response and recovery. Our eighteen members, as well as the private and institutional clients that utilize BACC on an independent basis, benefit from their access to our highly trained, professional staff. Our approach to collections care issues is comprehensive and broad based. The services we offer cover a wide spectrum, from environmental evaluation and storage design, to the formulation and implementation of complex treatment for works on paper and paintings, to technical analysis and support for art historical study.
