Meetings
Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts
The Center sponsors regular and special meetings throughout the academic year. Meetings held at regular intervals include colloquia, presented by the senior members of the Center, and shoptalks, given by the predoctoral fellows. Art historians and other scholars at area universities, museums, and research institutes are invited to participate in these gatherings.
Special meetings of the Center occur periodically throughout the year and include symposia, conferences, curatorial/conservation colloquies, incontri, seminars, and lectures. These meetings involve participants from the local, national, and international communities of scholars.
Such gatherings, in addition to the Center's annual reception in honor of new members, introductory meeting with the curatorial departments of the National Gallery, and weekly luncheon and tea encourage exchange among the members and help stimulate critical discourse in advanced research in the history of art and related disciplines.
