Art History Symposium

The Annual Student Symposium in Art History, postponed last April due to COVID, was reconceived as a virtual event during the fall 2020 term, with the entire program recorded and finalized this semester. This event includes four presentations selected from outstanding papers and projects from the art lecture courses in the visual arts program.  To view in its entirety, please go to: https://sacms.alamo.edu/Mediasite/Play/5a57b65c33bc428d80f879afe808fbfd1d

Please share this event with your classes and/or encourage students to view on their own, and help us celebrate exceptional academic work in the visual arts program.
