SYMPOSIUM: The Art of Encounter

The ART of ENCOUNTER Spring Symposium
Raclin Murphy Museum of Art

This symposium seeks to stimulate dialogue that connects scholarly study with the lived experience of spiritual engagement with art—particularly in public spaces like museums—to promote a deeper, more vulnerable interaction with art objects and each other.

Between moderated panels and invited papers throughout the day, participants will have the opportunity to engage in creative practices, prayer, reflection, and discussion in the galleries, creating a distinctive rhythm of intellectual dialogue blended with moments both for communal and individual contemplation.
