The Fine Arts Colloquium is a student-run event which highlights exceptional undergraduate research in the visual arts. Our annual conference allows selected student speakers from colleges across the nation to share their work with an academic audience. A keynote address by an accomplished art historian complements the student research presentations. Each year, the colloquium committee selects one student paper for a $200 prize that the Hillsdale College Fine Arts Department awards. Winning papers are also published on our website.

​

The 2026 Colloquium will be our third conference. For more information, including on how to apply, please see our current "Call for Papers." Information about past events can be found below.
