TFAP@CAA
Since 2007, the TFAP@CAA Day of Panels have brought together exceptional groups of artists, art historians, curators, and critics for a free and open to the public day of dialogue during the annual College Art Association (CAA) Conferences. CAA has been a founding program partner of The Feminist Art Project since its inception in 2005. TFAP became an Affiliated Society of CAA in 2016. We are grateful for CAA’s generosity in providing meeting rooms, publicity, technical support, and assistance that gives greater visibility throughout the conference week to women artists, feminist concerns, and supports the mission of TFAP. Additionally, TFAP collaborates with CAA’s Committee on Women in the Arts.

CAA CONFERENCE ATTENDEES: TFAP’s Aesthetics of Access virtual panels are hosted by the Rutgers Center for Women in the Arts and Humanities and NOT on the CAA conference platform. Separate registration is needed to join.
Art, Gender, and Disability: Aesthetics of Access explores the methodological framework of “aesthetics of access,” where artists use the materials of access – audio descriptions, captions, tactile objects, sign language and transcripts – as subject matter for their work, moving away from image-first projects, while considering the access needs of their audience.

TFAP@CAA 2017 Day of Panels, Crossroads: Art + Native Feminisms
ABOUT TFAP@CAA
In 2007, Anne Swartz, Professor of Art History, Savannah College of Art and Design, organized the first TFAP Day of Panels and performances for the CAA conference in NYC. Since then, the TFAP@CAA program has become a staple in the CAA conference itinerary. The Feminist Art Project would like to thank Anne Swartz for creating the annual TFAP@CAA Day of Panels and serving as Project Coordinator 2007-2011. Through Anne’s efforts, the art world, the CAA and WCA communities, and emerging professionals gained access to cutting edge work and ideas of artists, curators, performers and scholars, up close and through a feminist lens. Anne contributed many planning hours, acting as the liaison between TFAP and panel chairs and ensuring that the annual day of panels ran smoothly. Anne’s gift to all of us has been an ongoing forum for feminist issues and discussions of global art and art history. Brava Anne!
In honor of the 10th anniversary of The Feminist Art Project and the legacy of feminism in the arts, Claudia Sbrissa, visual artist, St. John’s University, and Kathleen Wentrack, art historian, Queensborough Community College, CUNY, collaborated on an interactive performance project entitled, Feminism: Remembrance & Legacy at the 104th College Art Association Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
