Thanks you so much Ann! This guide is beautifully written, organized, and designed. I can't go to ALA this summer, but have printed out the "ArtsGuide" for our next trip to DC. --Joan

Subject: [ARLIS-L] D.C. ArtsGuide Now Available & ACRL Arts Program at ALA Annual
Please excuse cross-posting.
The ArtsGuide for D.C., including a special supplement, is now available. Please read below for further information on the Arts Section program for ALA Annual and the newly revised D.C. ArtsGuide.
How We Memorialize: The Art and Politics of Memorialization
Sunday, June 27, 1:30 - 3:30 pm
REN (Renaissance Washington) - Congressional Hall A/B
The program will examine emotional, spiritual, and intellectual responses to public memorials and consider political issues involved in their creation. In addition, the program will examine, within the context of the nature of the public memorial, how the act of memorializing is evolving. What is the definition of a memorial? Is this definition being recast in light of virtual or transitory memorials? How does one document and "preserve" memorials that are not physical or permanent?
This program will be supported by a bibliography and by a supplement to the Washington, D.C. ArtsGuide that will selectively identify memorials and monuments in the D.C. area and briefly discuss the history of their design and construction.
