Dialogues on Art
“Dialogues” are interdisciplinary dinner conversations that bring together students and faculty from a variety of disciplines in order to discuss art. Participants visit exhibitions, performances, or screenings of contemporary art in and around Philadelphia, and then discuss them over dinner. Please contact James Weissinger, Post-Bac Fellow, (jweissin@haverford.edu) with your suggestions.

Arts Exhibits, Performances and Residencies
The Center promotes artistic programming that navigates the boundaries of forms and expression. In so doing, we hope to prompt self-conscious reflection on the part of students and faculty about tradition, innovation, and the roles of maker/performer and audience. Toward this end, Center staff members work alongside faculty sponsors and curators, providing logistical, professional, and technical support.
The Humanities Center funds arts events and residencies and also administers the college exhibitions program for the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery and the Humanities Center's exhibition space, Stokes 102. The
exhibitions program offers new opportunities for faculty to connect visual and material culture with the curriculum or in support of faculty research interests.

The Hurford Humanities Center’s annual Performance/Arts Series is supported by a generous grant from The Leaves of Grass Foundation. Funds from Leaves of Grass are intended support visits from distinguished artists, filmmakers, public intellectuals, musicians, dancers, and others, who not only offer significant presentations, but also lead small groups of faculty and students, and even community members, in sustained reflection on the meaning and significance of what they do. The Center Steering Committee is particularly committed to employing Leaves of Grass resources for events that challenge the campus community to fresh thinking about art and culture

In a typical year, the Leaves of Grass Program provides two artist residencies, which may be arranged in cooperation with other departments, programs, and centers whose interests echo and enhance the Center’s mission.
