The West Virginia University Art History Club is a welcoming, student-led organization for anyone interested in art, architecture, visual culture, and the stories objects tell across time and place. The club creates a relaxed, inclusive space where students from all majors can explore art history beyond the classroom. It is intended to be a low commitment club with monthly events and hangouts, and there are no annual dues.
Through casual hang outs, visits to nearby museums and historic sites, hands-on activities, and informal discussions, the club encourages members to engage with art in meaningful and creative ways. We also support professional development by introducing students to careers in museums, conservation, curation, education, and related fields, while building community among students who share an interest in the visual arts. Members connect with peers who share an interest in the arts while learning about potential careers in museums, curation, education, and related fields. No art history background is required—just curiosity and a desire to engage with art, culture, and community at WVU and beyond.
Whether you’re an art history major, a studio art student, or simply curious about art and culture, the WVU Student-Run Art History Club offers opportunities to learn, connect, and experience art together—on campus, in Morgantown, and beyond.
