From SHERA-SAH liaison: Getty Foundation to Support Reunion for International Scholars

 



The Getty Foundation to Fund a Reunion 
for the College Art Association-Getty International Program

The College Art Association is pleased to announce The Getty Foundation will
provide a major grant to fund the CAA-Getty International Program for the
sixth consecutive year. Having completed five successful years of
programming, CAA will use the grant to underwrite the cost of bringing
twenty alumni to the 2017 Annual Conference for a reunion program. The
Foundation's support will enable CAA to bring these international visual
arts professionals to the conference, taking place February 15-18, 2017, in
New York City. Funds will support all travel expenses, hotel accommodations,
per diems, conference registrations, and one-year CAA memberships. 

The reunion will focus on common themes and interests in global art history,
its greatest challenges, and what can be done to overcome them. Relying on
the geographic and scholarly diversity of the twenty alumni, the reunion
program will explore multiple points of view related to the state of the
field, including interdisciplinary and transnational approaches to art
history, the nature of cross-cultural collaborations, and future directions
of the discipline. The 2017 attendees, together with leading art historians
from the United States, will participate in several sessions devoted to
these topics throughout the conference. 

Since the CAA-Getty International Program began in 2012, ninety scholars
have participated in CAA's Annual Conference. Historically, the majority of
international registrants at the Annual Conference have come from North
America, the United Kingdom, and Western European countries. The CAA-Getty
International Program has diversified the Annual Conference, adding scholars
from Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia,
Caribbean countries, and South America. The majority of the alumni teach art
history (or visual studies, art theory, or architectural history) at the
university level; others are museum curators or researchers. Prior to
participating in this program, none of the alumni had attended a CAA Annual
Conference.
