National Sculpture Conference:
Works by Women
1987
This first-ever conference was organized by Professors Pat Renick and Laura Chapman. From conception to completion it took a little over two years. It was held in Cincinnati, May 7-10, at the Cincinnati Convention Center. Over 1200 participants attended the international conference. The conference focused on the accomplishments of women sculptors and addressed related professional and aesthetic issues. A total of seventeen exhibits were held during the conference.
To reflect the different approaches and concerns of the exhibiting artists and speakers, a dynamic system was implemented. The configuration of the basic “W” mark was altered for each application, ensuring that no two marks were identical. The various marks were used across a wide range of collateral materials, including mailers, application forms, signage, posters, pins, and tote bags.
