Visual Culture Caucus

Visual Culture Caucus

The Visual Culture Caucus is a membership organization formed to promote and advance the discussion of visual culture in both critical and artistic practice and interdisciplinary contact with those working to similar ends in other visual media. The caucus represents academics and artists in the field of visual culture.

The caucus has 100 members mostly based in North America. It organizes panels and discussions, mostly around the College Art Association annual conference.

History

It came at the end of a decade that had seen a proliferation of journal articles and books on the subject of Visual Culture and marked a consolidation of the academic growth of the field.

Conferences
