Hello,



I am writing to share the below CFP for a session at the upcoming
Universities Art Association of Canada conference. This year the conference
will be held online from October 15–17, 2020.



Please feel free to pass this call for papers along to any interested
colleagues.



With many thanks,



Amy Wallace, Ph.D.



*UAAC-AAUC Annual Conference Call for Papers*



*Session: Updating the Account: Women Artists in Museums and Beyond*



*Submission Deadline: July 31, 2020*



Recent headlines suggest an increase in institutional initiatives to
support the work of women and underrepresented artists. The Baltimore
Museum of Art, for instance, announced that in 2020 it would only acquire
work made by women artists. In Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario
deaccessioned 20 works by A. Y. Jackson in 2019 to diversify its collection
of Indigenous and Canadian art. Despite such recent initiatives, a 2019
study by artnet News and In Other Words found that work by women artists
accounted for only 11 percent of acquisitions and 14 percent of exhibitions
in a survey of the top American museums over the last decade. This session
seeks quantitative or qualitative analyses of the current status of
women-identified artists in Canada and abroad. Papers that address
representation and diversity within any of the interrelated spheres of
museums, governmental funding, art prizes, and the art market are welcome.
Intersectional approaches that examine joint factors such as gender
identity, race, and socioeconomic status are particularly encouraged.



Please send proposals (300 words) and a brief biography (150 words) using
the UAAC-AAUC submission form to session chair Amy C. Wallace (
[log in to unmask]) by July 31, 2020. The submission form and conference
regulations are available on the conference website (
http://uaac-aauc.com/conference/ <https://uaac-aauc.com/conference/>).



Note that the 2020 UAAC-AAUC Conference will be held online.
