CAA has experienced various changes in its organizational profile since I became a member in 2002. It has played an integral role in my scholarly development and been a significant factor in my advancement within academia. Every year I look forward to taking advantage of CAA’s interesting variety of conference activities and opportunities for professional networking.
As visual arts professionals it is critical that we keep CAA strong and relevant. As a board member I hope to assist the next generation of practicing artists and scholars in using CAA as a resource in their personal journeys. Helping them become conversant with professional standards and best practices will strengthen our members, departments, and standing within the academic community. Having served on various CAA committees and scholarly panels, I have a good sense of how CAA operates and the desire to explore its untapped potential.
Nationally speaking, organizations such as ours have seen declining memberships resulting in the emergence of some underserved groups. Visual artist memberships are down a bit and we should pay more attention to the needs of those working in community colleges. While the “scale” of CAA has become a bit smaller over the last few years I remain optimistic and believe that these developments may stimulate some rethinking about how we manage the annual conference, identify conference cities, and address the evolving needs of our members.

I am a graphic artist, designer, educator, and researcher with a disability, dedicated to integrating creative coding, diversity, accessibility, belonging, and healing into my professional practice. Originally from South Korea, I moved to the United States in 2005 to pursue graduate studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). When I arrived in Baltimore, my academic mentor introduced me to the College Art Association (CAA), which provided my first exposure to a vibrant international community of visual artists, designers, and educators in America. Since 2014, I have been an active member of the CAA and currently serve on the CAA Annual Conference Committee. In this role, I collaborate with CAA staff and leadership to oversee session selections, review abstract submissions, and mentor new association members.
In 2022, I was honored to receive the Society of Experiential Graphic Design Educator Award for founding and organizing the visionary art and design conference and curated exhibition titled “Evolving Graphic Design.” I also secured substantial funding, amounting to $71,680 from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and $10,000 from the Brittingham Wisconsin Trust. My work has been recognized in esteemed publications, including The Washington Post, PRINT, The New York Times Magazine, Letter Arts Review, Creator’s Project, and Designboom.com. I have contributed to notable academic texts such as “Graphic Design: The New Basics” and “Type on Screen,” published by Princeton Architectural Press, as well as “Data-Driven Graphic Design” by Fairchild Books in England. My research and artistic contributions have been featured in papers from organizations such as Leonardo (MIT Press), the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA), the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), and the Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD). I have been invited to present and exhibit at various international conferences, including the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH).
I hold a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Graphic Design, specializing in Interactive Media from MICA, an MFA in Information Design with a focus on Graphic Art from Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea, and a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science from Chungbuk National University in Cheongju, South Korea. Additionally, I am actively involved in committees for the CAA Annual Conference and the Academic Task Force of the Society of Experiential Graphic Design. I also serve as a reviewer for panel proposals submitted to Leonardo and for grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. My freelance work includes collaborations with The New York Times Magazine, and I have held teaching positions at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago State University, and Valparaiso University. Previously, I served as an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design and Interaction Design at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In 2023, I received a diagnosis of a long-term disability, which has presented significant challenges. I am currently engaged in cardiac rehabilitation and therapy, with plans to return to the workforce after 2024. This experience as a disabled artist and designer has provided me with a new perspective, enriching my understanding of the world and positively influencing my work in unexpected ways. I believe fostering a sense of belonging is essential in any community, as it promotes comfort and support among its members. From 2025 to 2029, I intend to cultivate this sense of belonging within the CAA in collaboration with the Board of Directors. My goal is to strengthen and inspire collaboration between the CAA and various underrepresented academic fields and communities, including theology, psychology, sociology, health, and well-being, thereby promoting innovative visual creativity and transformative narratives for a positive future for the CAA.
Arts Council of the African Studies Association Releases Best Practice Guidelines for Provenance Research and Restitution
posted Dec 04, 2024
In response to the increasingly pressing need to address principled and fair stewardship in institutions, ACASA has released new Guidelines for Provenance Research and Restitution. CAA acknowledges the critical need for this document and supports ACASA’s efforts.
From ACASA’s December 2 press release:
The new resource, the first-ever for museums in the United States, emphasizes collaboration and communication with Africa-based peers, descendant communities, and other knowledge-holding constituents in assessing and determining the futures of collections. Developed with support from the Mellon Foundation, this foundational document is publicly accessible and recommended for sharing with all U.S. collecting institutions.
The guidelines were developed over a three-year period by a working group of over seventy specialists from the United States, Africa, and Europe. The initiative began in 2021 and was informed by ongoing dialogue with Africa-based institutions, professionals, and community members. The final document, ratified by ACASA in August 2024, encourages museums to uphold their ethical responsibilities in their stewardship of African objects, in addition to any legal requirements. This includes promptly responding to return concerns and claims. It also recommends that U.S. museums demonstrate an institutional commitment to:
- transparency regarding collection holdings and information about object histories
- working with interested parties on the African continent on collaborations, including
- returns, within this field-wide framework of accepted practice
- prioritizing research on collection holdings
- disseminating information about African arts collections in accordance with ethical computing standards
ACASA is a U.S.-based professional organization, with over 1,800 members worldwide. For more than four decades, ACASA has championed African arts scholarship, connecting artists, researchers, curators and collections on the African continent, in North America, Europe and beyond.

CAA 112th Annual Business Meeting Minutes
Hilton Chicago
February 16, 2024 | 1:00 p.m. CT
- Welcome + Call to Order – Jennifer Rissler, CAA President
- Jennifer Rissler called the meeting to order at 1:05 pm. CT.
- Staff were thanked for their incredible work on the conference.
- Approval of 111th Annual Business Meeting Minutes [ACTION ITEM]
- Denise Baxter moved to approve minutes from the CAA 111th Annual Business meeting; Lynne D. Allen seconded the motion.
- The minutes were unanimously approved by those present.
- President Report – Jennifer Rissler, CAA President
- Jennifer reflected on her tenure as president which began during the pandemic and said that this year’s attendance numbers have exceeded our registration target, demonstrating the Association’s collective desire to convene in person.
- Citing her own professional challenges during her tenure such as the closure of her institution, SFAI, Jennifer underscored the current challenges in the field with institution and department closures, departmental budgets, adjunctification, and overall threats to higher education and academic livelihoods.
- Jennifer highlighted the resilience of CAA membership in the face of such challenges.
- The Board continues to support the vision of the Executive Director and the 2020 Board-approved strategic repositioning plan.
- Jennifer thanked Board members whose term ends in May 2024: Scherezade Garcia-Vazquez, Lynne D. Allen, Ken Wissoker, Mora Beauchamp-Byrd, Tiffany Holmes, Nada Shabout, and Victoria McCraven.
- Executive Director Report – Meme Omogbai, CAA Executive Director + CEO
- Statutorily, CAA is required to provide the financial status of the Association, based on the audited financial reports:
- For the year ending June 30, 2023, the Association made significant progress and posted an operating deficit of $177,000 as compared to the prior year deficit of $429,000.
- The Association posted a breakeven operating budget with revenue including investment spinoff matching expenses and meeting our forecast and budget expectations.
- After considering the non-operating government grants, the Association posted a net surplus of $551,000 as of June 30 compared to a $1.5 million technically net loss—but it is not an actual loss due to investments and the variance is driven by unrealized gains from the investment portfolio. As a result, it partially offsets the PPP loan forgiveness that became a grant of $352,000.
- We had a favorable portfolio balance of $727,000 for FY23 as opposed to an unrealized loss in FY22.
- The Association continues to manage expenses within our means and is in stronger financial condition than we have been.
- Complete audited financial statements have been provided and will be made available via guidestar.org and charitiesny.com.
- Membership Updates:
- As of June 30, 2023, there were just over 400 institutional members and nearly 4000 individual members, reflective of continued systemic higher education and pandemic impacts.
- There were nearly 500 subscribers to The Art Bulletin and Art Journal through co-publisher Taylor & Francis.
- Though we are operating on a breakeven goal basis, our membership numbers are declining. In response, we reduced membership dues and created an installment plan to make entry to CAA more accessible.
- Updates on the CAA Strategic Repositioning Plan and Operations Activities:
- Cost of operation continues to rise and membership-related activities, grants, and Annual Conference revenue only account for approximately 40 percent of the budget, so there is a need for increased support.
- The Association continues to strive, invest, and build out infrastructure to support our service to the field globally.
- We continued work on digital transformation efforts, a crucial step in the Board-approved strategic repositioning plan, to build infrastructure to serve member needs and the needs of the field.
- The Getty Foundation has generously given us a second digital transformation grant of a quarter of a million dollars. As one of the first funders of this effort, Getty made possible to have a virtual conference in 2021.
- We continue to reevaluate and refine the conference each year and expand accessibility, but balance that against rising costs; this year, for example, given overwhelming demand last year in New York, we have reintroduced day passes.
- Meme acknowledged Paul Skiff, Mira Friedlaender, and Maeghan Donohue for their partnership in negotiating contracts with Hilton and other conference service providers to get us competitive pricing.
- As of the Annual Business meeting, there are 2,671 registrants, which exceeds our target of 2500. We also exceeded our required 70% room block well in advance of the conference, helping us to avoid a contractual liability charge.
- As CAA aims to expand our global footprint, Meme reiterated from her Convocation speech that it is important to remember that CAA staff is comprised of only 8–10 individuals.
- A question was raised about why the Book and Trade Fair was notably smaller this year. Meme and staff responded to say that historically Chicago Book and Trade Fairs have always had less exhibitors than conferences in New York, but also worth noting that with rising costs and limited budgets, exhibitors are having to make tough decisions about which conferences to attend.
- Statutorily, CAA is required to provide the financial status of the Association, based on the audited financial reports:
- Old/New Business
- No old business was raised by meeting attendees.
- No new business was raised by meeting attendees.
- Board Member Election Results – Jennifer Rissler, CAA President
- The 2024 Board of Directors slate was announced on December 18, 2023, along with an online voting form. Voting closed on Thursday, February 15, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. CT.
- The following individuals will join the Board of Directors in May 2024 (4-year term): Damon Arhos, Theresa Avila, Nozomi Naoi, and Eric Wolf.
- Congratulations to Emily Rice who will also join the Board as a CAA Emerging Professional Director (2-year term).
- All who were not elected were encouraged to run again next year. Some of the most productive board members in CAA history ran several times before they were elected, including some past CAA Board presidents.
- The CAA Nominating Committee was thanked for their contributions to this election cycle.
- Adjourn
- The CAA 113th Annual Conference will be held February 12–15, 2025 at the New York Hilton Midtown. The date of the Annual Business Meeting will be February 14, 2025; time will be announced in late 2024.

In addition to serving as a dissertation and thesis advisor, he continues to steadfastly support the professional lives of his former students.
Dr. Flam is the author of several books, articles, and exhibition catalogs on various aspects of nineteenth- and twentieth-century art, and on African art. He is a leading authority on Henri Matisse, and his influential book Matisse on Art has been in print since its publication in 1973.

He is the series editor of the Documents of Twentieth-Century Art (currently published by the University of California Press) and in addition to Matisse on Art, has edited two volumes for it: Robert Smithson: The Collected Writings (1996) and Primitivism and Twentieth-Century Art (2003). He has served on a number of juries, committees, and boards focused on supporting artists and art historians, including the advisory board of Source: Notes in the History of Art and the board of directors of the United States section of the International Association of Art Critics. Dr. Flam was also the art critic of the Wall Street Journal from 1984–92.
He has been the recipient of several awards and honors, including fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. He won the Art World Manufacturers Hanover Prize for Distinguished Newspaper Criticism in 1987.
