Hello ARLISians,
The Decorative Arts SIG will hold its fall meeting on Tuesday, November 9 at 1:00pm EST, 12:00pm CST, 11:00am MST, 10:00am PST via Zoom. Please RSVP by noon Monday, November 8 to register. The Zoom link and full agenda will be sent out by the end of the day on Nov. 8.
Some agenda items:
- Library Updates Round Robin
- Program: Rebecca Friedman, Princeton University and subject editor for the Visual Arts portion of Resources for College Libraries (RCL) associated with ACRL. Rebecca will give a short talk about the framework of taxonomy for the visual arts and, looking for feedback, will open a discussion about how craft and decorative arts are situated within the taxonomy.
- Member Discussion: Reconsidering the name of the Decorative Arts SIG. At the summer meeting, Katherine Cowan suggested changing our SIG’s name. “Decorative arts” is an umbrella term for craft and design that seems focused on western traditions. Is there another term we would like to adopt that would be more inclusive and better reflect the broad scope of contemporary art and craft now?
We hope to see you there!
