ABOUT MACAA
The Mid-America College Art Association is a professional society of college and university artist/teachers. Founded in the late 1930s, MACAA originally drew its membership from academic administrators and art historians who felt the need to discuss professional issues pertinent to the Midwest. Over the years, MACAA has grown far beyond the Midwest and regularly attracts members and conference participants from across the country. Also, it has evolved into an organization primarily (but not exclusively) geared to the practical and philosophical interests of studio faculty.
JUROR Kirstin L. Ellsworth has a Ph.D. in the History of Art from Indiana University (2005). Growing up with a father who collects prints has given her a life-long interest in art and especially works on paper that led her to complete a Ph.D. in the History of Art at Indiana University (2005). Dr. Ellsworth's dissertation Icons on the American Landscape in the 1960s: Mapping the Culture of Car and Road is an examination of the depiction of automobiles by artists in the 1960s and the relationship of the automobile to the American Dream. Recent publications include "Africobra and the Negotiation of Visual Afrocentrisms: in Civilisations and "David Furman: Participatory Expectations" in The Artist is in the Details: The Ceramic Art of David Furman. She is also the author of "Grace Nicholson: Redrawing the Boundaries of Art and Life" published by the Pacific Asia Museum. Dr. Ellsworth has presented her research on the 1960s African American arts collective Africobra at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Currently she holds two positions at California State University Dominguez Hills: Lecturer in the Department of Art and Design and Assistant Professor in the Humanities Masters of Arts Program in the College of Extended and International Education.
