Joint Fall meeting at RPI!
October 23 and 24th, 2008 there will be a joint meeting of two ARLIS chapters (Western New York and New England) and two VRA chapters (Upstate New York and New England) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY) which will coincide with the opening of RPI's new Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) on the Rensselaer campus.
The meeting will focus on Media Arts and will include presentations on this topic as well as an in-depth tour of the new Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center at Rensselaer: http://empac.rpi.edu/
We hope that those who have to travel long distances might want to come into town on Wednesday and we will arrange for those who are interested to meet for dinner and drinks at a local restaurant.
We have just posted a web site with preliminary details on the program, registration, directions, and lodgings, but stay tuned for more as the date approaches:
