About the Seminar

The Council of Independent Colleges organizes an annual seminar on Teaching European Art in Context, with different themes each year. This opportunity is especially valuable for faculty members who teach art history at institutions without large campus museums or proximity to major art museums. The seminar on Landscape and Identity in Britain and the United States (1770–1914) will be held at the Yale Center for British Art, in New Haven, Connecticut, July 24–28, 2017.

These seminars are made possible with the generous support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
