Welcome to the 2012 College Book Art Association Blog. As planning and organizing for the 2012 Conference progresses, this blog will serve as a virtual window on events, exhibitions, speakers, miscellany, and the Bay Area in general.
The hosting institution for the 2012 Conference is Mills College, an independent liberal arts college founded in 1852. Mills is located in the Oakland foothills, just across the water from San Francisco, in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay. The 135-acre campus was named one of the top “Green Colleges” by the Princeton Review. Visitors to the Bay Area can expect a Mediterranean climate with the potential of rain and wind, but temperatures remaining well above freezing even in January, with Oakland remaining slightly warmer than San Francisco.
Check back as this blog develops. And please note that the deadline for papers and panel proposals in June 1, 2011, and the deadline for exhibition entries is August 15, 2011.
