ANNUAL ARTIST INTERVIEWS
ABOUT THE SESSION
Beginning in 1997, the Annual Artist Interviews were established to provide the opportunity for esteemed artists to have one-on-one conversations with colleagues at the CAA Annual Conference.
Each year, the Services to Artists Committee identifies two distinguished artists to participate. The interviews, held as part of the ARTspace Program, provide a unique opportunity for members to hear insights from artists in dialogue. This event is free and open to the public.
A generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts funded the Artist Interviews as part of ARTspace in 2007, and 2010–2018.
