<p>I would echo what Morganhil is saying; I think you are getting some extraordinarily frank and honest feedback on the Williams forum itself.
That being said, Art History includes some of the most popular courses at Wesleyan: [Wesleyan</a> Art & Art History](<a href=“http://www.wesleyan.edu/art/]Wesleyan”>Welcome, Art & Art History - Wesleyan University). And, while Wesleyan may not have an “art history mafia”, it does have at least one highly successful alumnus in the museum and gallery world: Jeffrey Deitch, `73, Director of LA’s Museum of Contemporary Art (LAMOCA.) </p>
<p>Training in exhibition development is available through several venues, including a program in the East Asian Studies department: [Curatorial</a> Assistant Program, Mansfield Freeman Center - Wesleyan University](<a href=“http://www.wesleyan.edu/mansfield/exhibitions/caprogram.html]Curatorial”>http://www.wesleyan.edu/mansfield/exhibitions/caprogram.html)
And, there’s a little known internship right on campus with the Davison Art Center: [Wesleyan:</a> DAC: Jim Dine Curatorial Internship](<a href=“http://www.wesleyan.edu/dac/educ/student_interns_dine.html]Wesleyan:”>http://www.wesleyan.edu/dac/educ/student_interns_dine.html). It may not be in the same league as the Clark, but the Davison Print Collection is widely regarded as one of the finest in the United States.</p>
