“Art at Large: Public and Monumental Arts in the Americas”

Hosted by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in collaboration with the Department of History of Art at the University of California, Berkeley, the conference will be held the weekend of March 18–20, 2016 at the de Young Museum in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

The conference will open with a Friday evening keynote address, followed by two days of papers. Papers will be divided into four panels covering the three main chronological areas and the proposed fourth panel on the arts of California and the Bay Area.  In addition to time spent at the de Young, the hosts anticipate organizing several opportunities for attendees to visit other Bay Area venues including museums, galleries, archives, and public mural programs.
