As a benefit of this affiliation, PAA hosts a session of papers at the annual CAA conference, this year held in Chicago, Illinois. The topic of the 2010 PAA at CAA session will be Views from the Continent: Art and the U.S. Pacific Diaspora.

For the first time since 2001, Chicago will host the 98th Annual Conference, taking place Wednesday, February 10–Saturday, February 13, 2010. The Hyatt Regency Chicago is the conference headquarters hotel, holding most sessions and panels, Career Services and the Book and Trade Fair, receptions and special events, and more. Other events will take place throughout the city.
The conference will commence on Wednesday evening, February 10, with Convocation and the Gala Reception. All 120 planned sessions will be presented over the following three days, Thursday, February 11 to Saturday, February 13, with the addition of extended evening hours. No sessions will take place on Wednesday.
CAA expects participation from many area schools, museums, galleries, and other art institutions. The crowning jewels in the Midwest are the comprehensive Art Institute of Chicago and the celebrated Museum of Contemporary Art. Conference attendees can satisfy their interests with other world-class institutions, including the Smart Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Renaissance Society, the Loyola University Chicago Museum of Art, the Hyde Park Art Center, and dozens of galleries in River North and the West Loop, among other neighborhoods.

This panel seeks to draw attention to visual art produced by Pacific Islander peoples living in the continental United States. Employing the central notion of “diaspora” as a framework for this session suggests a fluidity of identifications and transnational linkages between places of ancestral origin and various points of circulation and settlement. At the same time it is meant to acknowledge the particularities of place and how Oceanic artists' presence in the United States bears on their sensibilities and negotiations of history, ancestry, family, tradition, and changing cultural practices. What questions emerge about the possibilities and limitations of existing discourses, artistic strategies, and modes of display in conveying and contextualizing the ideas, histories, conditions, and subjectivities that catalyze this art? The organizers encourage submissions from visual artists, as well as arts writers, curators, and scholars.
