CAA invites nominations and self-nominations for individuals to join the caa.reviews Council of Field Editors for a three-year term July 1, 2026–June 30, 2029 (renewable once). An online, open-access journal, caa.reviews is devoted to the peer review of new books, museum exhibitions, and projects relevant to art history, visual studies, and the arts. Candidates may be artists, art historians, art critics, art educators, curators, or other art professionals with stature in the field and experience writing or editing books and/or exhibition reviews; institutional affiliation is not required.

CAA is searching for Field Editors in the following fields:

In collaboration with the caa.reviews Editor-in-Chief, the caa.reviews Editorial Board, and CAA’s Assistant Managing Editor, each Field Editor curates content for review, commissions reviewers, and evaluates manuscripts for publication. Field Editors specializing in books are expected to stay informed about newly released and significant books and related media within their areas of expertise, while those focused on exhibitions should remain updated on current and upcoming exhibitions (along with other related projects) in their respective geographic regions.
