CAA News Today

CAA is inviting nominations and self-nominations for an individual to join the caa.reviews Council of Field Editors as Field Editor for Exhibitions—West Coast, for a term that begins immediately and runs through June 30, 2026.

An online journal, caa.reviews is devoted to the peer review of new books, museum exhibitions, and projects relevant to art history, visual studies, and the arts. Candidates may be artists, art historians, art critics, art educators, curators, or other art professionals with stature in the field and experience writing or editing books and/or exhibition reviews; institutional affiliation is not required.

Working with the caa.reviews editor-in-chief, the caa.reviews Editorial Board, and CAA’s staff editor, the field editor selects content to be reviewed, commissions reviewers, and considers manuscripts for publication. Field editors for exhibitions should be aware of current and upcoming exhibitions (and other related projects) in their geographic regions.

The Council of Field Editors meets once a year at the CAA Annual Conference. Members of all CAA committees and editorial boards volunteer their services without compensation.

Candidates must be current CAA members and should not be serving on the editorial board of a competing journal or on another CAA editorial board or committee. Nominators should ascertain their nominee’s willingness to serve before submitting a name; self-nominations are also welcome.

Interested applicants—both self-nominated or nominated by someone else—should submit a CV and a cover letter, in one PDF document, by November 1, to ebell@collegeart.org.
