Visual Arts Conference. Plastic Arts Congress is a literal translation. This is unfortunate. In English, plastic arts refers to anything that can be molded, sculpted and is three-dimensional (i.e., sculpture, installations, ceramics). This is not the application of the term here, nor is it what the organizers intended either (which is meant to extend to all art forms, essentially).
