Robert Shure and Lisa Benson from Skylight Studios will be in the exhibit gallery doing conservation work on Walker Hancock’s bust of Abraham Lincoln.  Visitors are welcome to drop in on public days to observe the process. Hancock was commissioned to create a statue of Abraham Lincoln in 1978 for the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. and a plaster bust, which was created as part of that project, will undergo conservation treatment in the gallery.
