Read MoreCollege Art Association Annual Conference 2020: Digital Art History Sessions
The CAA Annual Conference brings together over 5,000 art historians, artists, designers, and visual arts professionals in all stages of their careers. Each year we offer over 300 sessions, selected by the CAA Council of Readers and the Annual Conference Committee, representing the vast scholarship and practice of CAA members. CAA 2020 includes a full program of workshops, distinguished speaker panels, opportunities to network, and a celebrated Book and Trade Fair.
In collaboration with the Committee on Women in the Arts, CAA offers 50 percent of the conference’s content in celebration of the Centennial of Women’s Suffrage in the United States, while also acknowledging the discriminatory practices that limited voting rights for Indigenous women and women of color, even after the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920.
The following are the Digital Art History related sessions at this year’s conference. These sessions are the result of mining the 2020 schedule by searching the terms “data,” “virtual,” and “computer.” If there is a DAH session you feel is missing or should be removed from this list, please contact us at: news@dahj.org.
