The Department of Art History teaches skills in visual literary, historical and cultural interpretation, and interdisciplinary ways of thinking about the world around us now and in the past. Your support contributes to our high-quality, high-impact teaching efforts by facilitating our students’ direct engagement with works of art and material culture.
How your gifts make an impact
Past contributions have gone toward field trips and exhibition opportunities and supported research of undergraduate and graduate students pursuing their interests in art of diverse time periods and cultures across the globe.
Why we need your support
As the department looks toward celebrating its centennial in 2025, we are witnessing an ever-diversifying body of students who need the skills art history offers to succeed in an increasingly complex and visual world. We thank you for joining us in celebrating this important milestone and helping us look toward our next 100 years.
Gifts made in support of the The Department of Art Hisotry will be contributed to Art History Department Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
