The Art Historians of Southern California (AHSC) welcome proposals for presentations and interactive discussion topics revolving around inclusive practices across the art world. We seek to provide a space where professionals across the diverse region of Southern California and beyond can share ideas, theories, case studies, and implemented changes made in their practices in order to make the experience of art more inclusive. These topics could include changes made to presenting art in gallery and museum spaces to include a more diverse audience and address issues of inclusivity, activities and assessments in classroom environments for both in person and online courses to improve inclusivity for students, alterations made in studio or creative practices with the intention of making the process and viewing more inclusive, historical or contemporary cases of other art professionals engaging with the topic of inclusivity, and much more! We hope this session sparks a productive conversation on the topic of inclusivity across a broad range of physical environments and artistic practices, leaving presenters and attendees alike feeling more empowered to consider inclusivity in their own work as well.
