Overview

The goal of the department is to serve Morehouse College students by providing technical, historical, and philosophical instruction in the visual arts. Our Art History program supports Morehouse’s liberal arts tradition. It promotes excellence in the arts through a broad-based curricular framework rooted in the theory and practice of art as it relates to visual language systems and the principals of design. The Atlanta University Center Art History + Curatorial Studies Collective seeks to shape the future of art history and position the Atlanta University Center as the leading incubator of African American professionals in the fields of art history and curatorial studies.

Objectives
