AAM 2019 Recap
ICOM-US held multiple successful events at AAM 2019 in New Orleans last month, including the educating and well-attended ICOM-US Luncheon and Business Meeting with Keynote speaker Lonnie Bunch. In case you missed it, please head over to our Facebook page and watch the live video that was recorded during the event here.
We also had the ICOM-US Annual Private Collectors Reception that included a visit to Lin Emery's collection and home and Rodger Ogden's collection and home. As well as an eye opening view of the "Per(Sister): Incarcerated Women of Louisiana" exhibit and dinner reception at the Newcomb Art Museum, Tulane University.
From engaging sessions to enjoying the southern hospitality, AAM 2019 was a great conference full of influential dialogue for ICOM-US. Photos from the conference can be found on our Facebook page too!
