<p style="line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#5A5B56">Intentional or unintentional, an audience reads a message in the works we create. “I love it” and “I hate it” are visceral reactions to the messages
conveyed. Regardless of the medium, and the tools used to create, they all share a commonality: the conveyance of meaning. What meanings are conveyed? How? For what purpose? The focus of this conference is to turn our attention to the messages that artists
are sharing and to discuss the meanings, themes, and ideologies present within artistic works that are understood by viewers, readers, and listeners. Throughout these talks, we hope to share the many ways that meaning is imparted across disciplines, and broaden
our definitions of communication.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
