Call for Papers
Western Association for Art Conservation Annual Meeting
Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu
New Mexico
September 27-29, 2018

The Western Association for Art Conservation (WAAC) is accepting proposals for 
talks to be presented at the 44th Annual Meeting. (Registration coming soon.)

We are seeking exciting and thought provoking papers in all areas of 
conservation and related fields. In the best 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. Since the meeting will take 
place in New Mexico, papers that highlight the art and history of the region 
are particularly welcome. Please keep in mind that individual presentations 
will be 25 minutes in length. However, suggestions for multi-session panels, 
incorporating multiple speakers, will also be welcomed.

WAAC is excited that this is the first annual meeting to be hosted by Ghost 
Ranch, a 21,000-acre retreat and education center located about an hour and a 
half outside of Santa Fe. You may not be familiar with Ghost Ranch, but you 
have most likely seen it depicted in numerous paintings by Georgia O’Keeffe who 
lived and worked there for over four decades. The ranch is also home to one of 
the most important dinosaur quarries in the Northern Hemisphere. As a 
pre-conference event, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the 
Angel’s project led by colleagues from the Mesalands Dinosaur Museum in 
Tucumcari. While helping to improve the storage conditions of finds housed in 
the onsite paleontology and anthropology museums, we will also learn about 
dinosaurs.

Please save the dates and join us for what will be a memorable 
two-and-a-half-day retreat on this stunning desert land. Be inspired by your 
colleagues, be inspired by nature! More details to follow. Registration will be 
open to members first, so join now!

Proposals and questions can be submitted to:

     Sue Ann Chui

Please submit an abstract no later than July 1, 2018.
