A Visual Approach: The Visual Resources Association's 32nd Annual Conference
March 12-15, 2014 |
VRA 32, A Visual Approach continues the rich tradition of offering exceptional opportunities to engage with VRA colleagues around inspiring programs, speakers and special events. On behalf of the Executive Board, I am pleased to welcome you to A Visual Approach, the 2014 Visual Resources Association’s Annual Conference, held in Milwaukee “Cream City,” Wisconsin, March 12-15, 2014.
Our conference hotel is the historic Pfister Hotel, located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, just blocks from train and bus stations, both of which connect up with the airport. Built in 1893 as a “Grand Hotel of the West,” it features a much acclaimed Victorian art collection on display throughout the ornate and elegant lobby, meeting rooms and corridors. The Pfister’s “Artist in Residence Program” is the only one in the United States. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit the studio of the current artist, Stephanie Barenz, who is also an expert on the hotel’s collection and architecture. The hotel is a ten minute walk from Santiago Calatrava’s dazzling Milwaukee Art Museum. Also nearby you will find an interesting collection of theaters, breweries, civic and industrial buildings, great examples of the Germanic, Flemish, and Richardson Romanesque architectural styles. There are unique restaurants in every direction within walking distance from the hotel, offering combinations of local Wisconsin beers, bratwursts, sausages, and cheeses, all extremely affordable.
Join us for an exciting conference in mid-March in lively, historic Milwaukee.
