College Art Association 2022 Annual Conference

March 3, 2022

The 110th Annual Conference is the first of its kind for CAA with in-person, virtual, and recorded content. This format will blend the valuable face-to-face interactions of an in-person conference and provide increased access to virtual content, allowing conference attendance to expand beyond boundaries embracing a global audience. Individuals can hear session content on their own schedule between teaching, family care, and other obligations. 

The 2022 Annual Conference program offers content critical to our time on climate change, pandemic responses and pedagogy, and social justice issues. CAA will celebrate and promote the 50th anniversary of the feminist art movement, offering a selection of sessions and programs on women in the arts. As an organization, we emphasize diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. Highlighting these sessions and incorporating this work is of paramount importance to our mission.  

The conference opens on February 16, with 140 in-person live sessions held at the Chicago Hilton from February 17-19, and 60 virtual live sessions to be held in Zoom from March 3-5. Please note that in-person sessions in Chicago will not be remotely accessible. Access to recorded content will be available through April 14. The Book & Trade Fair will have both in-person and virtual components.
