Giving Opportunities

At the Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland, we nurture the minds of tomorrow's visionaries, empowering them to explore, interpret, and evaluate the rich tapestry of our visual world. Our commitment extends beyond the academic realm; it's a dedication to understanding the essence of human expression through art and archaeology.

Our students embark on a journey that takes them across time and through diverse cultures. We delve into monuments, objects, and spaces of visuality, considering not just the materiality of created things, but also the complex contexts of their creation. This journey includes immersive field trips, where students interact directly with artworks and archaeological sites, allowing them to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

To enrich this experience further, your support can help fund these transformative field trips, providing students with the opportunity to witness art and history come to life before their eyes. By contributing to travel funds, you enable students to explore the world's cultural treasures, gaining firsthand insights into the political, social, religious, and economic circumstances that have shaped our global visual heritage.

We are proud to uphold an inclusive approach that embraces the diverse cultures of our world, considering art as a bridge between societies and an expression of our shared human experience. Your donation ensures that our students continue to thrive, preparing them for careers in arts and cultural management, museum curation, the art market, art law, marketing and communications, and a myriad of other fields that demand critical thinking about the visual world. Your contribution helps shape the visionaries who will illuminate the cultural landscapes of tomorrow.

Donate today and become a patron of the arts and culture, supporting the relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding through the Department of Art History and Archaeology. Together, we can empower future leaders to navigate the complexities of our visual world, shedding light on its profound impact on society and humanity as a whole. Your support doesn't just fund education; it helps build bridges between past, present, and future generations through the immersive experiences that only field trips can provide.
