Art History Network

The Art History Network (AHN) was launched in 2021 as a new version of the popular Melbourne Art Network, which ran from 2009-2019. Like its predecessor, this site is devoted to the promotion of events, news, and critical commentary about art history and art generally. The new name reflects a new focus on art history in the broader Australia and New Zealand region. The editors of AHN are Katrina Grant and Mark Shepheard, both based in Canberra. 

The Melbourne Art Network archive remains on this website, and includes many reviews and opinion pieces, as well as a record of the diverse exhibitions, events and conferences that were held in Melbourne and around Australia from 2009-2019. 

Although, the AHN is not directly affiliated with any organisation, it does receive financial support from the Australian Institute of Art History to cover the website’s principal operating costs. We thank the Institute for its generous support.

AHN also hosts paid advertisements for jobs, exhibitions and events relevant to our art history focus.

We welcome event notices, press releases and news that relate to academic art, architectural, design and garden history and to exhibitions and art events. To guarantee that your notice is published please make sure you send the notice at least five days before you would like it published. Please send clear information, preferably as a word document with relevant contact details. Also we prefer that items have an image to be posted alongside the story; please send this as a separate image file with a relevant credit line. Please also ensure that you have secured the relevant licenses or copyright permissions to allow the image to be published on AHN. See contact details here Contact Us.
