HNA is soliciting proposals for its sponsored panel for the 114th CAA Annual Conference, which will be held in Chicago from February 18-21, 2026.**
Our deadline for proposals is April 18, 2025, with a decision to be made shortly thereafter. Session proposals for HNA sponsorship should appeal broadly to our membership and should focus primarily (but not necessarily exclusively) on Netherlandish, German, or Franco-Flemish art and architecture from approximately 1350 to 1750. Chair(s) should be members of the HNA, and all speakers eventually selected should be members of HNA and CAA, as well. Session proposals should include a title, abstract (a maximum of 250 words), and abbreviated 2-page CV of the chair(s). Once the sponsored session has been selected, the chair(s) then will solicit individual presenters through CAA’s open call over the summer in July/August. Please submit your proposal to Ashley West, HNA Vice President, by April 18 via email: ashley.west@temple.edu.
Panel organizers and speakers must be members of the HNA to propose a session, and ultimately will need to be CAA members, as well.
**Please note for your own planning that for 2026 the CAA conference (Chicago) coincides with the RSA conference (San Fran). We will be holding our HNA reception at the RSA conference next year and will be sending out a call for sessions in the forthcoming weeks.
