Welcome to the ARCE-NC Lecture Series
ARCE-NC presents free lectures open to the
public on a monthly basis to promote a better understanding of Egyptian art,
culture and religion both historic and contemporary in association with the
Department of Near Eastern Studies and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies,

We receive almost no outside funding
and rely upon donations as our primary source of revenue. Lectures include such

Expanding Views of Africa
The newly installed galleries of African Art is the vision of curator Barbara
Thompson. It is a walk back in time with powerful contemporary visions of Africa
giving way to art from the past ending in the Egyptian room at the end of the
exhibit. It places Egypt squarely as an African influence, unlike many exhibits
where Egypt is treated in a Mediterranean context. Computer touch screens and
smart-phone links allow the viewer to get expanded views of the displays.
