In addition to the conference we are working on organizing concurrent exhibitions in the Ottawa and surrounding area with a map/directory on our website. It could be highlighting existing exhibitions are special exhibitions planned to coordinate with the conference. We hope these could run Thursday-Sunday so anyone coming into the area for the conference has a bit of time to see them outside of the conference hours.
