Chicago 2010
The Art Institute of Chicago
February may not seem to be the ideal time for a trip to wintry Chicago. But with CAA’s Annual Conference in the Windy City for nearly a week that month, there’s no better place for artists and scholars to be.
For the first time since 2001, Chicago will host the 98th Annual Conference, taking place Wednesday, February 10–Saturday, February 13, 2010. The Hyatt Regency Chicago is the conference hotel, holding most sessions and panels, the Career Fair and the Book and Trade Fair, receptions and special events, and more.
CAA expects participation from many area schools, museums, galleries, and other art institutions. The crowning jewels in the Midwest are the comprehensive Art Institute of Chicago and the celebrated Museum of Contemporary Art. Conference attendees with currents interests can be satisfied by the Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Renaissance Society, the Hyde Park Art Center, and dozens of galleries in River North and the West Loop, among other neighborhoods. The Field Museum of Natural History and the International Museum of Surgical Science provide a more eclectic, well-rounded Chicago experience.
