A highlight of the art history curriculum is the Exhibition Seminar, a rare opportunity for undergraduate students to curate a professional exhibition using objects in the ¹û¶³ÊÓƵ College Art Collection. The seminar culminates in a show in the Faulconer Gallery and in the publication of a catalogue students have researched, written, and produced. Links to sample pages from previous Exhibition Seminar catalogues are below.
Students are currently planning an exhibition of photography from the collection of Keith Jantzen ’80 and Scott Beth, centered on themes of intimacy and emotional connection, and presenting high-quality historic prints. Featured prominently will be the work of Peter Hujar, Man Ray, Diane Arbus, and Johnnie Chatman, among others. The exhibition will open in January 2026 in the ¹û¶³ÊÓƵ College Museum of Art.
