The Graduate Union of Students of Art, with support from the Student Initiative Fund and the Department of Art History, is pleased to present our 2019 Alumni Reunion Week Event: Art History: Why Does It Matter?
Friday, May 31, 2019
9:00 AM – 3:15 PM
Hart House, 7 Hart House Circle
We invite all current and prospective students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty, and alumni to attend a day of discussion and deliberation.
Why does art history matter? How is an education in art relevant to my current studies? What can I do after graduation with an art history degree? This one-day event with lectures, workshops, and panel discussions with faculty members, alumni, postdocs, and current students will answer these questions and more. The event is accompanied by an exhibition of both visual and literary works that respond to the nature of art.
