Land Acknowledgement
The Art History Association and the Department of Art History acknowledge that this virtual symposium will be hosted from the traditional lands of the Esopus-Lenape people, who have been the caretakers of the site of the State University of New York at New Paltz for many centuries. We pay our respects to their ancestors, elders, and all relations past, present, and emerging.
We further acknowledge that this land’s rich history includes the lives of many enslaved Africans and their descendants, whose names are often now lost to us. We are grateful for their enduring legacy and will honor it in perpetuity.
SUNY New Paltz Department of Art History
The Department of Art History is dedicated to the teaching of undergraduates. Small class sizes, usually comprised of fifteen to thirty-five students, allow for individual attention and close interaction with faculty and other students. All courses count toward the liberal arts requirement.
The breadth of courses offered, ranging from prehistoric times to the present and covering nearly all areas of the world, is rarely found at four-year colleges. Since 1964, the State University of New York at New Paltz has offered a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History with a wide variety of courses in the history of painting, sculpture, architecture, graphic and decorative arts, design, and photography. A minor concentration in Art History is available, as is an Art History major concentration within the Early Childhood & Childhood Education curriculum.
