#ARCSchat December 7

In April of 2020, #ARCSchat sat down with a large panel of shippers to discuss how we would approach shipping our collections during the encroaching pandemic. That chat marked an important milestone for our entire industry, as it was the first of many on the subject by a wide range of institutions.

On December 7, we visited with a similar panel of art shippers from the United States, Asia, Latin America, and Europe to discuss permanent changes to our procedures, laws and regulations resulting from the pandemic, and new best practices (couriers, trackers, PPE, etc), and sustainability issues animated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
