Friday, January 31 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, February 1 at 5:30 pm on Art Rocks! (episode #714), meet conservator Elise Grenier, who divides her time between Louisiana and Italy to preserve great masterpieces of art. Over the past 25+ years, Elise has restored artwork in major churches, palaces, museums and villas in and around Florence. In Louisiana, one of the many projects she was tasked with was restoring the 700 square-foot Conrad Albrizo fresco mural at the Louisiana State Museum. Meet Elise and learn about her research, preservation, and promotion of treasured art works at home and abroad—this week on Art Rocks!
