Welcome to the

Our mission is to provide an environment in which everyone has the opportunity to learn, discuss, experience and enjoy art and its history. Art History isn’t just another subject. We want to engage with and create relationships between our members, the University and real world cultural institutions. We love it, you’ll love it.

Join us for gallery tours and talks, behind the scenes visits, movie nights, wine, networking and being with a group of art lovers who know how to have a good time.
