»Events and Exhibits

Throughout the year, our Art History program hosts a dynamic range of events and exhibitions that celebrate study work, foster industry connections, and spark creative dialogue. From professional symposiums and guest lectures to student showcases and gallery exhibitions, these experiences enrich learning and building community within and beyond the classroom.

The Department of Art hosts lectures every semester designed for students to explore visual culture from a wide range of art professional across disciplines offering opportunities to learn, be inspired, and network. Recent scholars and artist include: April Bey, Mark Steger, Nancy Baker Cahill, Amy Adler, Ken Gonzales-Day, Monique van Genderen, Dr. Nizan Shaked, Rachel Mason, Curtis Santiago, A.L. Steiner, Andrea Bowers, and Zachary Drucker.

The Escalette Collection, which focuses on modern and contemporary art, is an accessible and engaging resource for the campus community. The Collection supports class learning and research in many ways including tours of the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions, and access to artworks. Student opportunities include working with the collection as a collections assistant, volunteering as an art ambassador, contributing to the acquisitions process, and helping curate physical and virtual exhibitions.
