The 2021–22 Art History Association officers are making plans for fall meetings and events, collaborating with the Undergraduate organization and the Connections mentorship program to foster community in person and remotely. Officers Ivy Bealyer and Sara Kuba are participating in year-long MCHS internships at The Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, and Paris Gilstrap is on the Tallahassee campus, so events and workshops will be arranged to include both remote and face-to-face participants.
The next meeting of the Art History Association will be held Thursday, October 14 at 6 pm on Zoom:

Paris traveled in Copenhagen, Paris, and London while working on her undergraduate thesis; in addition to travel she satisfies her creative side with painting and sewing.
