HESCAH Lectures & Symposia

Image of blue HESCAH logo on white background

The Harn Eminent Scholar Chair in Art History (HESCAH) program invites distinguished scholars whose work represents a range of fields in the history of art. Established by a gift from Dr. David A. and Mary Ann Cofrin, this endowment funds lecture series and symposia featuring leading art historians, critics, curators and museum professionals. Free and open to the university community and beyond, HESCAH events are often presented in collaboration with other departments and centers on campus. Since 1993 the HESCAH program has offered opportunities to engage with scholars and thinkers on the cutting edge of current scholarship in art history.

To receive announcements for upcoming lectures, symposia, and other HESCAH events, please submit your name and contact information below.
