This Saturday, November 15, Willowbank is thrilled to welcome renowned art conservator Jean Dendy for a thought-provoking talk on the often-overlooked relationship between art conservation and architectural conservation.


Too often, these two fields operate in isolation. Jean will explore how they intersect — through shared materials, methods, and meaning — and how together, they help shape the character of culturally significant places.


With a career spanning the U.S., Quebec, and her current work at the Royal Ontario Museum, Jean brings a rare perspective bridging both worlds of preservation, offering insights that will resonate with professionals, students, and anyone passionate about heritage conservation.


Event Details:

📅 Date: Saturday, November 15

🕙 Time: 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.📍

Location: Bright Parlour, Willowbank, 14487 Niagara Parkway, NOTL, ON L0S 1L0

🎟️ Cost: $25 via e-transfer to willowbank@willowbank.ca


Join us for an inspiring morning of insight, discussion, and connection, and discover new ways that art and architecture come together to preserve our shared cultural heritage.
