We are proud to introduce the 2024 FSU Art History graduates! These recipients of BA, MA, and PhD degrees in Art History excelled in their coursework and extracurricular and professional activities. Spring Commencement for the College of Fine Arts will be held on Saturday, May 4 at 7:00 pm at the Tucker Civic Center.

This semester the Art History Museum Object class curated and installed the exhibition The Art of Persistence: Exploring Symbols, Materials, and Function in Southwestern Indigenous Art. The class integrated online and in-person museum exhibition strategies, highlighting the role of digital platforms in expanding access to collections.
