Both AHSA and VASA will be offering memberships at $5 each or $8 if you sign up for both clubs. Memberships are an essential form of funding for the clubs and allow us to hold lots of great events throughout the year.

Hope to see you there!

AHSA seeks to provide a forum for the discussion and exploration of art historical issues, connect students with arts-related opportunities in the Vancouver area, and represent students’ interests to the department and the rest of UBC. For a bit more about us you can visit our blog at: https://blogs.ubc.ca/ahsa/
Events & Jobs that may be of interest:
– Maintaining the AHSA blog & Facebook page
– Overseeing the monthly AHSA newsletter – this could include writing articles for publication and/ or doing the layout for the newsletter.
– Research Workshops
– Organizing Arts Films 101 – monthly screenings of arts related films
– The Careers in the Arts Fair (October or January) – help bring professionals working in the arts to UBC for two evenings where they will speak about their experiences working in the arts and answer students’ burning questions about what they can do after graduation.
– The 7th Annual Undergraduate Symposium – be part of the team that reads, selects and helps students present exceptional papers to Art History faculty and students
…or if you have any other great ideas for events that you would like to organize we are open to your suggestions.

We’re hosting an info session/undergrad+grad student hang out session. Free coffee, snacks and hopefully insight!
Thursday, December 3rd 5:00PM, Grad student lounge (Lasserre 204)
This Thursday at 5:00, the Art History Students Association is hosting a coffee house with our department’s graduate students. This is an opportunity to meet fellow Art History undergrads, as well as get to know students working towards MAs and Phds in both Art History and Curatorial Studies. Come with all of your questions and curiosities about grad school, and enjoy some free coffee and snacks while engaging in a discussion about where your pursuits in academia may lead you. Whether you are already applying to programs, or just curious to see what grad school is all about, a casual information session such as this is the perfect place to have answered all your questions about the application process, how graduate programs are structured, information about different universities, or the graduate study workload and lifestyle.
Come check out some new art and have a drink with us at Koerner2
Friday, December 4th 5:00 PM, Lasserre Lobby
On Friday, December 4th, celebrate the last day of classes by joining the Art History Students Association on a visit to the Koerner art gallery to see the Visual Arts 480-Advanced Seminar course’s exhibition of final works. After the show, we will be heading to Koerners Pub for some drinks to celebrate the end of the semester.

Thank-you!
Thanks to all of you that have been out to our events. Hopefully movies and researching tips have helped you to balance out your school lives! We are currently working on our monthly newsletter and all settling into writing our own papers and finishing up projects, so we’ll probably be a little less present. If you have any questions or comments please contact us! We’re all up for procrastinating a little by responding.
