For Immediate Release

The Visual Resources Association will hold their
19th Annual conference
inChicago, February 27 through March 3, 2001. The
conference site will be
the historic Congress Hotel, just three blocks
from the College Art
Association’s conference venue and within easy
walking distance of such Michigan
Avenue attractions as the Art Institute.

This year’s schedule boasts an exciting slate of
programming and tours.
Chicago architecture and history will be the focus
of many of the tours, which
will be conducted with Chicago Architecture
Foundation docents. Conference
programming will include discussion of Chicago
area digitization projects, including
the Cleopatra multimedia program from the Art
Institute, as well as
discussions grappling with the impact, both
positive and negative, of the electronic
age on image management, from both philosophic and
pragmatic viewpoints.
Workshops on all aspects of image management will
also be offered. As always, the
annual roster of social events will allow the
membership to network, share
experiences, and welcome new colleagues to the
profession.

The Visual Resources Association is the only
international organization
specifically for image media management
professionals. With an active
publication roster, list serve, web page, regional
chapters and the
annual conference, the Visual Resources
Association provides critical
information, opportunity for professional growth,
and support for today’s visual
resources curator.
