The Patrons’ Circle was established in 2011 to foster collaboration between the students and faculty of the Department of History of Art and cultural/philanthropic leaders throughout the community. The annual contribution of members helps fund the annual Patrons’ Lecture, which brings prominent art historians to Ohio State each autumn. Contributions also fund other departmental initiatives, most notably graduate student travel and research. Members of the Patrons’ Circle are invited to audit selected courses in the Department each term and to participate in a number of special events throughout the year. These include lectures by OSU and visiting faculty, faculty-led visits to regional museums and exhibitions, and tours of local private collections.
To become a member of the Patrons’ Circle, please send your check in the amount of $1,000 and made payable to The Ohio State University Foundation (fund #313810) to Karl Whittington, Chair, Department of History of Art, 201 Pomerene Hall, 1760 Neil Ave., Columbus, OH, 43210 or go to the website.
