UAAC-AAUC Conference

The Department of Visual Arts will be hosting the UAAC conference October 24-26.

Every fall, UAAC-AAUC hosts Canada's professional conference for visual arts-based research by art historians, professors, artists, curators, and cultural workers. The conference is held at a different location each year, generally at a Canadian university or college. The sessions and panels address issues and subjects in art history, theory, and practice from various methodological approaches.
