Conference on Community Art Centers Scheduled
for May 2004
Alexandria, VA--An Unconventional Convention on how to start
and operate visual arts centers for the benefit of both artists
and the public will be held at the Torpedo Factory Art Center
in Alexandria, VA on May 21 and 22, 2004. This conference
is sponsored and organized by the Alliance for the Advancement
of Community Visual Art Centers (AACVAC) with associate sponsorship
by Americans for the Arts, Partners for Livable Communities,
The National League of Cities, the Friends of the Torpedo
Factory Art Center, and Home & Design Magazine.
The exciting program will feature five panel sessions with
experts and representatives from the following fields: Cultural
Tourism; Art Center Prototypes; Architectural Renovations
and Occupational Health Considerations; Community Outreach
and Support; and Self-Governance & House Rules. The two-day
program will include a closing night gala to coincide with
the Torpedo Factory Art Center’s Thirtieth Anniversary.
The conference is "unconventional" in that there
will be no meetings in hotel basements and no plenary luncheons.
Instead, sessions will be held in the Torpedo Factory Art
Center and neighboring art spaces. Further, attendees are
able to choose their own accommodations and discounted meals
will be available at one of the many local restaurants. The
Torpedo Factory is located just five miles south of Reagan
National airport and is within easy access to the Washington
area’s major monuments and sites.
Early registration is encouraged as space is limited. The
Unconventional Convention cost is $300 for registration before
February 1, 2004 and $350 after that date. Checks can be made
payable to the Alliance for the Advancement of Community Visual
Art Centers (or AACVAC), in care of the Torpedo Factory Art
Center, 105 N. Union Street, Alexandria, VA 22314.
