Why does art history matter? How is an education in art relevant to my current studies? What can I do after graduation with an art history degree? This one-day event with lectures, workshops, and panel discussions with faculty members, alumni, postdocs, and current students will answer these questions and more. The event is accompanied by an exhibition of both visual and literary works that respond to the nature of art.

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.

Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
