Call for papers--WAAC Annual Meeting

Call for Papers
Western Association for Art Conservation Annual Meeting
Asilomar Conference Grounds and State Park,
Pacific Grove (Monterey Bay)
California
Wednesday - Friday, September 30 - October 2, 2015

The Western Association for Art Conservation (WAAC) is accepting
proposals for talks to be presented at the 41st Annual Meeting
(Registration coming soon).

Asilomar Conference Grounds and State Park, the location of the
meeting, an oceanside State Park at the mouth of the Monterey Bay,
will encourage rejuvenation of the heart as well as the mind.  Come
and enjoy a stimulating conference and enjoy all of salt-scented
loveliness the area has to offer.  A bonfire with s'mores will
welcome attendees on Tuesday night, a pre-dinner cocktail will ease
the way into Wednesday's dinner, and a pj's movie night with popcorn
will be offered Thursday evening.  Families who come along, perhaps
for a post-conference long weekend, will also find plenty to do.

But the main attraction, as ever, are the engaging presentations by
WAAC members.  With that in mind, we are seeking exciting and
thought-provoking papers in all areas of conservation and related
fields.  In the best of WAAC tradition, a wide range of
presentations are eligible for consideration.  We are particularly
interested in papers that push the boundaries and challenge the
profession to re/consider roles, responsibilities, techniques, and
ideas.

Papers related to the topic of California art and history are
especially welcome, as this will be the unofficial theme of the
meeting.  (Other events related to this theme include the Angel's
Project, which will take place on Tuesday, September 29, 2015 at the
Carmel Mission; and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Monterey Art
Museum's La Mirada adobe building on Friday, October 2, 2015).

Please keep in mind that individual sessions will be 20 minutes in
length. However, suggestions for multi-session panels, incorporating
multiple speakers, will also be welcomed.

Questions and proposals can be submitted to:

    Catherine Coueignoux
    president<-at->waac-us<.>org

Please submit an abstract no later than August 1, 2015.
