Timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Broadmoor Art Academy (the precursor to the current Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center), this symposium aims to provide a forum for new inquiries, challenges, and reassessments of Western American art and visual culture.

This symposium takes as its departure point the Broadmoor Art Academy, founded in 1919 in Colorado Springs, which gathered together national and international artists to train new generations of students. The Academy’s founders and early leaders – including artists such as John Carlson, Robert Reid, and Randall Davey – created a vibrant center for Regionalist art in a part of the West known for its natural beauty. In the 1930s and 40s, teachers such as Boardman Robinson, Edgar Britton, Adolf Dehn, Ward Lockwood, Birger Sandzén, Frank Mechau, and Lawrence Barrett arrived from Europe and the East to provide instruction for students from across the country. The students and teachers of the Broadmoor Art Academy were admired practitioners of American Scene, Regionalist, New Deal, Modernist, and other preeminent art movements of the first half of the 20th century.

In order to illuminate new perspectives on a dynamic, even tumultuous period, we encourage a reconsideration and reimagining of the themes and issues of 20th-century Art and Visual Culture in the American West. What marks the various stages and styles of art in the West? What alternative stories might a renewed look at the artists, teachers, and students who helped build new styles of art in the Academy, produce? In what ways would a reexamination of early instructional practices, and their impact on different types and generations of students, or the development and role of lithography as an art form, change existing narratives? How do contemporary issues such as Indigenous sovereignty, gender inequality and feminism, immigration and colonial forces, political tumult, economic disruption and exploitation, power over land and peoples, and environmental change alter our understanding of the art of the West? Do our efforts to grapple with these issues compel us to reimagine the established sequencing of styles and actors, both in and around the Academy and across the West? How might critiquing, revising, or updating our understanding of one of the crucibles of Western art in the 20th century help us envision new histories and futures? We invite proposals for essays that broaden and question this history encompassing both the Broadmoor Art Academy and the canonical narrative of art and visual culture in the American West.

We welcome papers of 20 minutes devoted to these and related issues. Papers accepted for the symposium will be edited and included in an anthology appearing in 2020.

Please email an abstract of 200-300 words and a brief cv by June 1, 2019 to FACsymposium@coloradocollege.edu. Selected participants will be notified by June 24, 2019.

The Utah Museum of Fine Arts at the University of Utah will host an interdisciplinary symposium to coincide with the upcoming special exhibition "Power Couples: The Pendant Format in Art" (July 11–December 8, 2019), which will examine ideas imparted by two interdependent works (called pendants) from the fifteenth century until the present day. Papers that consider works conceived as pairs in the visual arts, literature, and music are invited, and new research related to pairs in other disciplines is encouraged. What are the artistic strategies at play in the creation of companion pieces? How do the format and display (or experience) of pendants communicate meaning?

French explorers put New Orleans where it is because indigenous people showed them a bayou connecting Lake Pontchartrain to the Mississippi River, an intersection of sorts, granting quick access to the Gulf. Three hundred years later, new paths cross on our long-traversed landscape. Arising from the muck of both a distant and all-too-proximal history of social injustice is a community aware of economic, racial, and gender disparities, who celebrates in creative ways, mixes art with social activism, loves beautiful things, and always says hello. What better place to expand the discussion of book arts and foster an inclusive field that embraces a variety of education models, as well as ideas that come from all races, classes, genders, and levels of education? We now invite you to the neutral ground of New Orleans, to our many stately university archives and our ground-up book arts collectives and printshops, to discuss the “Intersections” of present-day book arts: where we’ve been, where we’re going, and whose paths are crossing now.

"Intersections: CBAA 2020" will take place January 2-4, 2020 in New Orleans, LA. To approach the theme of intersections, we invite artists, students and professionals, educators of all kinds, community activists, academics, and organizers to address the ways that book arts has engaged with and can intersect with themes of inclusion, intersectionality, expansion, accessibility, and equity. We are hopeful that this conference will act as a site to bring together communities and generate new conversation about book arts as a field.

Presentations on artist books that address these themes, contextualizations of book arts within these realms, or wide-ranging proposals that address the art of the book—its history, successes and failures, and paths for the future, are encouraged.

In addition to current members, we extend the invitation for paper and panel submissions to people and groups who may not have previously been involved with the College Book Art Association. Centers for art that work within communities, zine artists and printmakers, emerging artists and educators, book arts MFA students and academics, researchers and historians, librarians, bibliophiles, and makers of any stripe with a vested interest in the art of the book, are all welcome to apply. Membership is not a requirement to submit a proposal. If selected, all presenters must be members of CBAA by the date given below for panel confirmations.

In addition to the academic tradition of the CBAA, this year’s conference in New Orleans celebrates the non-traditional, the outsider/outlier, the expression of our culture in our lives and in our artwork. Proposals that address expansive methods of making; the intersections of book arts with other areas of art, communities, or histories; and the methods it uses to engage with its readers/viewers, be that through book structure, exhibition, or teaching, are strongly encouraged. Proposals that take a creative look at the traditional panelist format will also be especially considered.

DEADLINES:
Proposals must be received no later than the deadline listed below. Submissions received after this date will not be considered for acceptance.

June 30, 2019: Deadline for submission of proposals

September 1, 2019: Notification of acceptance or rejection of proposals

September 15, 2019: Deadline for confirmation of participation by presenters

September 15, 2019: Deadline for becoming a current member of CBAA (required of all
presenters)
