AAANZ 2003 Conference
National Gallery of Australia
5-6 December 2003
The 2003 annual conference of the Art Association of Australia and New Zealand was held in Canberra at the National Gallery of Australia.
The conference coincided with the major international exhibition French Paintings from the Musée Fabre, Montpellier. One of the main themes Reflections on French painting addressed the complex history of French art, and the artists that helped to create its reputation.
More than 70 speakers from diverse backgrounds spoke at three venues over the two days of the AAANZ Conference at the National Portrait Gallery and the School of Art, (National Institute of the Arts, Australian National University) as well as at the NGA, with experienced historians speaking alongside the most recent graduates in art history.
