SIGGRAPH 85
The end of the early years of SIGGRAPH, the ‘85 show was once again led by women. According to this history:
“In 1985, in San Francisco, Louise (Etra) Ledeen chaired the SIGGRAPH Art Show. Rachel E. Carpenter was the Art Show Administrator and Joanne Culver once again was the Traveling Arts Show Chair. The art show jury consisted of: Kathy Rae Huffman; Robin King; Margot Lovejoy; Beau Takahara and Woody Vasulka.”
The Traveling Art Show in 1985 would make it to Tokyo with Hakuhodo, Inc. Loren Carpenter received the ACM SIGGRAPH CG Achievement Award.
