... of The San Diego Museum of Art
Study Group - FY25 - Sept 2024 - June 2023
Theme: Islamic Art and Innovation
The Study Group provides a learning opportunity for those who would like to deepen their knowledge of the many facets of Asian art. Each year when a new theme for study is chosen, members choose a topic to study in depth, present it to the group and learn from all the other members’ presentations. (You may notice that some topics don't fit the theme, and that's because when presenters would like to study other Asian art topics, that's welcomed, too). It is a stimulating and enjoyable way to learn and make new friends. We meet on Zoom and attendance is limited to AAC members and Museum docents.
We meet at 10:00 a.m. on Zoom on the third Monday of September through November and February through June.
