Location: Rendezvous Trianon, 3rd Floor, Hilton New York

The 2010–2015 CAA Strategic Plan calls on CAA to re-imagine and reinvigorate alternative approaches to the annual conference. In line with this effort, major artists, scholars, and visual arts professionals have been identified and invited to help us begin rethinking the conference through key Centennial Sessions. These sessions take as their starting point core concepts related to the visual arts, such as diversity, experience, feminism, globalization, medium, technology, and traditions.

The participants are individuals from different parts of the visual arts who have been brought together to debate and construct a session around one of these concepts. These unusual combinations of members have been charged to approach the topic in any way that will spark new conversations and foster new approaches to sharing and exchanging knowledge at CAA’s annual conference.
