South Central SPESC Regional Conference
Hosted by the Department of Art and the Department of Communication
Mississippi State University
October 25, 26, 27, and 28
The 2012 SPESC conference will focus on the risks artists take in the conceptual and technical aspects of their work, and the challenges they overcome in their visual research. Mississippi State University's commitment ti hosting the conference will help critically examine the diversity of photographic practice by addressing the three major physical sectors of photography: traditional, digital, and alternative processes. This project is supported in part by funding from the Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency, and in part from the National Endowment of the Arts, a federal agency. The conference is co-sponsored by Mississippi State University and the Society for Photographic Education.
