About Us

The Art History Association at UC Riverside is a student-run organization founded in the Spring of 2008. Our mission is to promote, support and encourage the study of art history in the UCR community. We have various events both on and off campus including topical meetings, discussion forums, museum trips, research presentations and film screenings.

We are enthusiastically supported by the faculty and staff of the Art History Department at UCR. Our membership includes both undergraduate and graduate art history students, though students of any major are welcome to join. We communicate with our members through regular emails and we have a Facebook page on the web where we post events and discussion forums that support our mission.
