February/March 2009: National Conference in Los Angeles
WCA'S 2009 CONFAB IN LOS ANGELES: ART AND ACTIVISM
February 25 – March 1, 2009
Come early for the College Art Association conference & stay through the Women's Caucus for Art Confab, Art and Activism – Share Your Passion! From Wednesday, February 25 through Sunday, March 1, 2009, we'll be meeting, thinking, pondering and playing together. So, make your plans now to enjoy a winter break in sunny, art filled Southern California. In a dynamic change from prior Los Angeles conferences, WCA 2009 will follow a "CONFAB" style that features networking, tours, inspiring awards, exciting exhibitions and many participatory events that complement the rich feast of feminist presentations offered by the College Art Association (CAA). The Feminist Art Project panels on Saturday, February 28, 2009, featuring leading scholars and artists will also be rewarding. WCA events also include opportunities for chapter networking and information sharing at the early morning Chapters' Council meetings on Saturday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1. The National Board meets on Monday, March 2, and all WCA members are invited.
WCA plans to offer an all-inclusive conference package price that includes the Lifetime Achievement Awards dinner and ceremony and all events. More information will be available by November 1, 2008 on www.nationalwca.com and through your ArtLines Newspaper.
Tickets now available online at the National WCA website!
