Undergraduate History of Art & Architecture Association
Who are we?
The Undergraduate History of Art & Architecture Association is an undergraduate student-run organization. We are open to anyone, regardless of major or knowledge of art history & architecture. Throughout the year, we organize some great activities, such as museum visits, a trip to New York City, and guest speakers. We hold career advising sessions to help those interested in an art-related career decide what to do and how to do it.
Through regular e-mails, we keep members up-to-date on art-related events around the city, such as gallery openings, new museum exhibitions, lectures, and more. We also work closely with the Graduate Student History of Art & Architecture Association (GSHAA) and the Boston University Art Gallery to keep members informed of these great organizations’ events – held right on campus.
