The Friends of Art History at McMaster
The Friends of Art History was founded in 2010 to offer a series of events for its members and the general public. Our goal is to promote the appreciation of Art History at McMaster and in its broader community. The Friends is an international organization that spans all ages and includes current students, faculty, alumni/ae, and the general public. Donations support: a visiting speaker’s series, visiting professionals who foster career development for students of Art History, student research projects, and an informal program of Art History lectures for a general audience.
McMaster was the first university in Canada to offer Art History courses and these began in the 1930s with a Carnegie grant. As is the case for many universities today, it is not possible for budgets to sustain activities in all areas. The Friends of Art History seeks to offer support for education in the discipline and to foster Art History events for students and the community.
