For Immediate Release
The Visual Resources Association will hold their 19th Annual conference in
Chicago, February 27 through March 3, 2001. The conference site will be the
historic Congress Hotel, just three blocks from the College Art Association’s
conference venue and within easy walking distance of such Michigan Avenue
attractions as the Art Institute.
This year’s schedule boasts an exciting slate of programming and tours. Chicago
architecture and history will be the focus of many of the tours, which will be
conducted with Chicago Architecture Foundation docents. Conference programming
will include discussion of Chicago area digitization projects, including the
Cleopatra multimedia program from the Art Institute, as well as discussions
grappling with the impact, both positive and negative, of the electronic age on
image management, from both philosophic and pragmatic viewpoints. Workshops on
all aspects of image management will also be offered. As always, the annual
roster of social events will allow the membership to network, share
experiences, and welcome new colleagues to the profession.
The Visual Resources Association is the only international organization
specifically for image media management professionals. With an active
publication roster, list serve, web page, regional chapters and the annual
conference, the Visual Resources Association provides critical information,
opportunity for professional growth, and support for today’s visual resources
