The College Art Association (CAA) conference will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from February 22nd to 25th.

"Speakers and panelists will present their recent artistic projects and art-historical research, while others will talk about relevant issues in pedagogy, technology, publishing, and the academic workforce."
