Hers & Hers: Women as Artists, Clients, and Consumers
California State University, Sacramento, 16 April 2016

Proposals due by 22 February 2016 [revised, extended deadline]

Keynote speaker: Sheryl E. Reiss (President, Italian Art Society), ‘Noble Exemplars of Their Sex’: Tomb Monuments Commissioned for and by Women during the Italian Renaissance

The past three decades have seen an increased amount of scholarship about women who were artists and women who were either sponsors of art projects or purchasers of art objects between about 1500 and 1800. Publications and presentations have resulted in a greater awareness of the significant role played by women in the art market in the 18th century and earlier. For the 12th Annual Art History Symposium at California State University, Sacramento, we welcome proposals for 20-minute papers that provide new information and/or insights about women artists, clients, or consumers in the 16th, 17th, or 18th centuries.

Please send:
(1) A 300-word proposal
(2) A short biographical statement (one paragraph)
(3) Full contact information

Send all three items as e-mail attachments to ruth.hansen@csus.edu by February 22, 2016. Questions about the symposium may be addressed to Professor Catherine Turrill (turrillc@csus.edu).
