Dear Neighbors, The College Art Association will be meeting in Philadelphia February 20-24 (Wed-Sun). As a number of other professional associations who are trying to encourage student attendance and participation, the Student Committee of the organization is trying to find housing for student members with local residents. The usual call for spare bedrooms or extra couches to schools and other channels has provided fewer spots than the number of students interested in local housing. Since West Philadelphia has a large number of members of academic communities who might be sympathetic to the idea, and West Philadelphia houses tend to have spare bedrooms, I thought I might put a call for volunteers among our community. This involves providing a place to stay for a graduate student of art or art history coming to attend their convention at the Convention Center February 20-24. Students are in charge of transportation and meal expenses. If you have a spare room, couch and would be willing to make it available, please let either myself or the person organizing this (Becca Albee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>), know of your willingness. I have enjoyed the hospitatity of wonderful people in other cities with similar arrangements and hope we can help. I am looking forward to housing four people and probably will take a couple more willing to crash on our downstairs sofa. Thank you for your attention to this request.
