CAA News Today

caa.reviews invites nominations for individuals to join the Council of Field Editors for a three-year term July 1, 2025–June 30, 2028 (with an option to renew once). An online, open-access 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.   

CAA is searching for Field Editors in the following fields:  

• Design History   

• Eighteenth-Century Art   

• Japanese Art   

In collaboration with the caa.reviews Editor-in-Chief, the caa.reviews Editorial Board, and CAA’s staff editor, each Field Editor curates content for review, commissions reviewers, and evaluates manuscripts for publication. Field Editors specializing in books are expected to stay informed about newly released and significant books and related media within their areas of expertise, while those focused on exhibitions should remain updated on current and upcoming exhibitions (along with other related projects) in their respective geographic regions.    

The Council of Field Editors meets once a year in February onsite at the CAA Annual Conference. Members of all CAA committees and editorial boards volunteer their services without compensation or financial support for travel to and accommodations at the Annual Conference.  

Candidates must be current CAA members in good standing and should not be serving on the editorial board of a competing journal or another CAA editorial board or committee. Nominations and self-nominations are welcome. Nominators should ascertain their nominee’s willingness to serve before submitting a letter of nomination. Interested applicants—both self-nominated or nominated by someone else—should submit a CV and a cover letter as a single PDF document to Eugenia Bell, CAA Editorial Director.  

Deadline: April 18
