The BAPCR unites professional paintings conservator-restorers working in the UK and internationally.

The BAPCR membership combines a diverse group of paintings conservator-restorers from the UK and around the world. Many are freelance or self-employed professional conservators working in small private practices and studios. Their principal clients are members of the public, the auction houses that form the basis of the fine art trade in the UK, and institutions without their own conservation facilities.

Other members are employed in some of the UK’s established institutions working with some of the finest collections in the country; The National Gallery, The National Portrait Gallery, Tate, English Heritage, National Gallery of Scotland, National Maritime Museum, National Museums and Galleries Wales, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Courtauld Institute of Art, Guildhall Art Gallery to name but a few.

If you are working as a paintings conservator-restorer in the UK or internationally you are warmly invited to join the BAPCR today. To find out about the benefits of the BAPCR membership please follow this link below.
