Welcome to the University of California, Riverside Art History Graduate Student Association (AHGSA) conference website. Since 2012, the conference has been held each spring at the Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts in Downtown Riverside. It is student-run, free, open to the public, and supported by the Department of the History of Art at UCR.
The conference presents original research from graduate students across the disciplines that deal with visual and material culture, in conjunction with a keynote address from a practicing artist, academic, or relevant interlocutor. A cornerstone event of our community, the goal is to generate dialogue on compelling topics related to the creation, mobilization, theorization, and historicization of the arts, broadly defined.
We invite you to browse this site for more information on the 2023 conference—Decay into Chaos—as well as past conferences.
