<pre> Please excuse cross-postings: For Immediate Release

The Visual Resources Association will hold their 19th Annual conference in Chicago, 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.
