Professional-Development Workshops
CAA offers professional-development workshops to artists and art historians at our Annual Conference and at locations throughout the United States. Our philosophy is to create a lifetime context for thinking about a career, because a healthy working life is multifaceted and complex and involves more than one strategy to accomplish one’s goals.
