The Phillips Collection Center for the Study of Modern Art, an interdisciplinary forum for research, programs, and publication on modern art, presents an annual two-day symposium in conjunction with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The topics are deliberately broad and often range beyond traditional aspects of art history and appreciation.
One day-long program is held at The Phillips Collection and the other at the university's Urbana-Champaign campus. The symposia are open to the public.
Admission to the Center's symposia included in museum admission. Further information is available by e-mailing CSMAprograms@phillipscollection.org or calling 202-387-2151 x286.
From time to time, the Phillips offers other symposia, which are often related to special exhibitions. For more detailed information on symposia and other Phillips programs, check the online calendar.
