FREE Online Railroad Photo/Art Conference
Something to do while not at the SLO Railroad Museum tomorrow...
For the first time ever, the Center for Railroad Photography and Art (CRP&A) will host their annual conference online, and FREE!
It happens tomorrow, Saturday, April 18, 2020 from 9:30am to 5:00pm Central Time.
UPDATE: All pre-recorded and live presentations for this conference will eventually be made available on the CRP&A's YouTube channel.
If you're an avid railroad photographer or artist, or aficionado of such, don't miss this very unique opportunity.
Registration | Information
From the CRP&A website: "The Center, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts and education organization, achieves its mission through exhibitions, conferences, and publications that spring from its core commitment to collect, preserve, and then make widely available imagery that portrays the nearly 200-year history of railroads. While based in Madison, Wisconsin, the Center does not maintain a museum space or large facilities, but instead collaborates on its many projects with individuals and institutions ranging from museums and universities to libraries and historical societies. This approach allows the Center to focus on railroad imagery and the profound and moving stories it can tell."
"The Center?s annual spring conference, Conversations, has been held annually since 2003 and sold out for the past three years. The much anticipated gathering at Lake Forest College has attracted hundreds to hear renowned presenters as well as to meet and develop relationships with those who share an expertise and interest in railroad imagery and its significance."
This year the conference is named "Virtual Conversations." Here's a YouTube welcome to this year's online conference by Scott Lothes, CRP&A's President and Executive Director.
