We want you to know that The Feminist Art Project is co-sponsoring a day of free panels and presentations in conjunction with College Art Association’s Annual Conference, at the Hilton New York, in February 2007.

On Saturday, February 17, 2007, Feminist Art Project Special Sessions will take place from 9:30 AM–5:30 PM in the Hilton’s Third Floor Rendezvous Trianon Room, Sixth Avenue at 53rd Street, New York City. The day's events, which are free and open to the public, feature short panels and discussion. For complete details about Saturday’s program and the complete CAA conference go to the CAA Special Events page and scroll down to Saturday at: http://conference.collegeart.org/2007/special

We also invite you to visit our new, upgraded Feminist Art Project website at http://feministartproject.rutgers.edu
