Join us for the 36th Annual Cleveland Symposium
The Art of ExchangeAn Art History Graduate Student Symposium |  |
The 2010 Cleveland Symposium will feature graduate students presenting research that explores
cross-cultural influences throughout the history of art. The exchange
of ideas across local, regional, national, and continental borders has
been one of the major vehicles by which art changes over time. Papers will employ various methodologies that explore these convergences.
Examples include cases of artists influenced by other artists, places,
time, culture, history, and other relationships that are ultimately
expressed in visual and material culture. Discussions will span all disciplines of art history including Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern, Contemporary and
Non-Western. A monetary prize will be awarded to the speaker who
presents the most innovative research in the most successfully
delivered paper.

Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Symposium
