College Art Association's 2005 Conference in da ATL

Brian Holcombe at Saltworks cued me in the upcoming College Art Association conference (Feb 16-20) in Atlanta.  The conference includes a career fair, a book fair, mentoring workshops and a dizzing array of lectures and panel discussions.

The conference can be attended in part by the public for as little as $40.  The book fair is of particular interest to me and can be attended for $25.

Some of the lecture and discussion topics:
Approaching the Spiritual: Contemporary Artists as Shrine Makers
Down and Dirty: The Sanitizing of Painting in the Twenty-First Century
Other Icons: Exploring the Relationship between Iconicity and Race
