Who are We Really? Identifying CAA’s Current and Emerging Constituencies

Given the evolution in recent years of the professional employment environment for Artists, Art Historians, and Art Educators, the Professional Practices Committee needs develop guidelines and best practices appropriate for these new circumstances. To assist us in broadening the relevance and inclusivity of our work, the PPC invites CAA members to submit proposals for presentations that will offer insights in one or more of the following: 1) support for art professionals working in emerging fields, 2) adapting our disciplines to changing professional, student, audience, and institutional expectations, 3) articulating the importance of the Arts and their histories in our increasingly visual society, 4) expanding professional exhibition and publication to include venues and platforms available to wider audiences, 5) addressing how interdisciplinarity is changing expectations in our various fields, and 6) considering how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will offer opportunities and challenges to our fields. We seek diverse participants representing a broad range of experience in contemporary arts teaching, scholarship and practice, including contingent faculty and those working outside traditional universities and museums.
