The Visual Resources Association will hold their 19th Annual conference
in Chicago, February 27 through March 3, 2001. The conference site will
be thehistoric 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 curator.
