USA Field School: Art Cities - Las Vegas and Los Angeles
For three weeks in May - June 2019, the University of Guelph is offering USA Field School classes in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
Explore the visual and built environments of two cities whose distinct geographical circumstances and histories have shaped urban development and, in turn, fundamentally informed the art and artistic representation of each. Learn through first-hand encounters with researchers, artists, and cultural figures at various sites, museums and galleries.
the Philosophy Field Course is back
The Philosophy Field Course is a unique experiential learning opportunity for undergraduates. We will be visiting Tofino, BC from May 20-30, in 2019. During their visit, students will engage with various environmental stakeholders including Fish Farm managers, environmentalists, logging operators, and First Nations representatives. We will investigate environmental issues from each of these perspectives and explore opportunities for cooperation. More info is available on the course website.

From the blurb:
College of Arts Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Night at the Museum
From 8 pm until 2 am on Friday, January 18th and into the early hours of a frosty Saturday morning, the College of Arts, along with the Art Gallery of Guelph, hosted an extraordinary event with some 20 presenters and performers in a packed program featuring a sampling of the College's best research, literature, music, and button making, too!
Presenters took the stage before what was often a standing room only crowd who came out to walk a (slightly) red carpet and be interviewed by volunteer student paparazzi on their way in to the main event.
