When the association Muses & A.R.T is solicited for a deteriorated work, it collects from its owner, natural or legal person, information concerning the nature of the goods (oil on canvas, on wood, polychrome object …). The association examines the context of the request and makes an initial assessment of the state of the alterations to assess the need for conservatory care.
Following this first analysis, if the owner is not able to finance work that allows the survival of the artwork, the Scientific Committee of the association meets and examines the request for care. This committee brings together people who are sensitive to painting and cultural issues, art experts and historians, heritage conservation specialists and conservators.
If the conditions for eligibility of the work are met, the Association Muses and A.R.T. retains the request to take charge of the work and initiates a search for funds for its financing.

When the funds are collected, it entrusts the work to restorers who carry out conservation operations as a priority to stop the evolution of alterations.
If the fundraising is sufficient, restoration work can also be undertaken.
Membership dues, individual donations and patronage allow the selected works to be covered : transport, restoration equipment, conservation work, search for funding for these works. Finally, they make possible the events and the functioning of the association.
