Irish Association of Art Historians

In information on May 26, 2010 at 12:36 pm

Email: iaahinfo@gmail.com

Since its foundation in 1972 the principal aim of the Association has been the advancement of the study of the history of art at every level in Ireland: in art galleries and museums, in universities, in art schools and departments, in the school system, and through independent scholarship and publication. Membership is open to professional art historians and also to all who share the aims of the IAAH, irrespective of professional or educational status.

The IAAH maintains a programme of lectures, events, seminars and tours to significant sites in Ireland and abroad. The range of lecture subjects has been broad and varied. Visits are also arranged to important collections and exhibitions at home and abroad.

An integral part of the Association’s programme is the annual IAAH Artefact Study Day which takes place in late spring. This study day highlights new and in-progress research from across the island. Calls for papers are advertised in early spring.

In December 2007 the IAAH launched the inaugural issue of Artefact, a new peer reviewed journal published by the Irish Association of Art Historians in consultation with academics from universities across Ireland, north and south. Artefact aims to provide an outlet for publication of new and emerging scholarship in Ireland and submissions are welcomed on all periods and aspects of art history and visual culture. For more information please email Artefact [artefactjournal@gmail.com].

The IAAH is the representative association for art historians in Ireland and is responsible for the election of the Irish National Committee of the Comité International d’Histoire de l’Art (CIHA).
