About Us
The Art History Association is for all students interested in the history of art! Whether you are studying art history for research purposes or just have an interest in the visual and material culture of humankind, our organization is open to all! At meetings we play games and enjoy discussing art-related topics. Each year, we organize and curate a juried exhibition in the spring semester featuring art from ESU students and beyond, providing AHA members with gallery and exhibition experience. We also take at least one field trip each semester, usually incorporating discussions with professionals at that museum.
